Pathan:
Irfan Pathan once again proved his credentials as an a good swing bowler with some good match winning performances in Pakistan. In the first two test matches Irfan Pathan did not get too many wickets as bowlers had to do a lot of hard work to get wickets on those flat unresponsive pitches at Lahore and Faislabad.

But he made amends for it ,by using the seaming conditions at Karachi test on first day to get his first hatrick of his career and he finished with afive wicket haul on the end of the first innings.

It was an average series for him as he claimed 9 wickets giving away more than 400 runs at an average of 44.44 which his too much for a bowler like him.

But it was an good one day series for him as he claimed 9 wickets at an average of just 18.88 giving away only 170 runs.

As a Batsman:
He did perform well in test matches and scored some good knocks at crucial stages in Faisalabad and Karachi test matches.|He scored a weel made 92 in first innings at faisalabad and followed it up with a 38 in first innings at Karachi and he threw away his wicket at a crucial stage in the first innings when India were just short of 7 runs of Pakistan’s total that virually ended India’s chance of coming back into the test match.


In one dayers he scored a good half century ,where he made 63 of 63 balls and in third onedayer he got a beautiful delivery from Asif only to be caught behind the stumps.

But he once again proved himself as an promising all rounder by his performances in this series to compare himself with legendary Kapil Dev .
