"It’s tough to see Baroda cricket struggling" - Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan after his home state failed to reach the knockout stages of Ranji Trophy 2024-25

After the conclusion of the group stages of the Ranji Trophy 2024-25, Irfan Pathan congratulated the Jammu and Kashmir team for securing a spot in the quarter-finals. However, he was disappointed that his home team, Baroda, failed to reach the knock-out stage after a disappointing season. Through his X handle, Pathan wrote:

"Congrats to Jammu & Kashmir for making the Ranji knockouts! While I’m happy for them, it’s tough to see Baroda cricket struggling—only one knockout appearance in the last 5-6 years."

Irfan Pathan criticized the Baroda team management for instability in the batting department and for sending bowlers ahead of specialists in the crucial number four position in the batting order during the season. Analyzing the reasons behind Baroda's unfruitful season, Pathan said:

"This season, no batsman even makes the top 30 run-scorers nationally. To make matters worse, the critical No. 4 spot in red-ball cricket has been filled by bowlers like Atish Seth and Mahesh Pethia in do-or-die matches. Bowlers who can bat, but No. 4 requires a specialist. Who’s making these decisions?"
