IPL 2016: 5 Indian players who can stage a comeback to the national team

Irfan Pathan

India and the perennial search for all-rounders never ends. Hardik Pandya is the latest to occupy the musical chair, but then the impact and potential of Irfan Pathan can never be neglected.

Irfan has been plagued with injuries too, but in the limited matches he played for Baroda in the Ranji Trophy certainly proved that he still has that fire and promise. The left armer grabbed 6 wickets for 47 runs and also scored 73 runs including a half-century for Baroda against Gujarat.

He has also been in the thick of things in the IPL and enjoys the confidence of MS Dhoni and will playing under him for the Rising Pune Supergiants. India will be more than happy if Irfan performs and wins his place back in the squad.
