Irfan Pathan, a former cricket player for India, is currently seen spending time on his YouTube channel and sharing his candid thoughts on international matches. After missing out on commentating during the current IPL 2025, he just started his second innings. In just a few weeks after its introduction, his channel has grown to become one of the fastest-growing channels for cricket players, with about 400K subscribers. His development on the platform has been exceptional.
His frequent fans have already begun to enjoy his analysis of the game, particularly the IPL matches. Gajraj Rao, a seasoned Bollywood actor, has also been impressed. Rao, who is well-known for his critically acclaimed films like Badhaai Ho and popular television series like Dupahiya and Dabba Cartel, said that he used to be a big admirer of Irfan Pathan while he was playing for his country, and now he also enjoys the cricketer’s analysis.
“I’m a cricket fan, but I don’t have any commentary. Congratulations! [I used to enjoy Irfan’s cricket, but now I also enjoy his commentary.]” Sportskeeda cited Rao’s statement.
Irfan Pathan quickly acknowledged the actor’s praise and responded to his tweet, praising the 54-year-old’s acting abilities. He had said, “Apki acting bhi to lajawab hai [Even your acting is outstanding].”
Navjot Singh Sidhu, a former cricket player who is now a broadcaster, recently said that he misses discussing the match with Irfan Pathan. Sidhu had stated on air during an IPL 2025 game that he hoped to see Pathan rejoin the commentary panel so the two could enjoy their time together. Pathan, an India international who won the T20 World Cup and the Champions Trophy, stated that he is also excited to get back together with the former India opener and share his thoughts on the game.
