My Take

Irfan Pathan occupies a special place in my memory of Indian cricket. As a bowling all-rounder he gave the team balance at a time when genuine swing bowlers who could bat were scarce, and his presence in the squads that won the inaugural 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2013 Champions Trophy says everything about his value in big tournaments. What interests me now is his graceful second act: commentary, analysis, even film acting. Athletes often struggle to reinvent themselves after retirement, but Pathan seems to approach it with the same curiosity he once showed with the new ball. That adaptability is his real talent.
