IPL Released Players XI

7.Irfan Pathan

A third member from the Pune Supergiants, who makes the cut in this XI.

You can't but feel apologetic towards Irfan Pathan. In a team, which was losing players by the day thanks to injury, last season, the Baroda all-rounder continued to inexplicably warm the benches and was played only 4 matches for the team.

A player like Pathan can add a lot of value both with bat and ball and hopefully whichever team that picks would utilise him far better than how the Pune franchise did.
