#14 Irfan Pathan

Untimely injuries destroyed a career that was touted for being one of immense success. Yes, we are talking of the Indian speedster Irfan Pathan.
Irfan was an important part of the 2007 World T20 winning Indian team. He picked up 10 wickets in the 7 matches at a strike rate of 13.2 and a brilliant economy rate of 6.77.
Pathan could never really cement his place in the side after this triumph. Overall, the 34-year-old picked 100 in 29 Tests, 173 in 120 ODIs, and 28 wickets in 24 T20Is.
The Baroda-born player was the classiest swing bowler and it was a delight to watch him bowl when he was at his best. Kings XI Punjab, Delhi Daredevils, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Chennai Super Kings, Rising Pune Supergiants, and Gujarat Lions are the IPL teams Irfan has represented.
He was even a contestant at a dance reality show in 2015. Even though it has been over 6 years since he last played an International match, Pathan has not given up. The Indian speedster is currently playing for Jammu and Kashmir in the Ranji trophy. His is another story of unfulfilled potential.
