Irfan Pathan was dropped from the IPL commentary panel.
New Delhi: Irfan Pathan, one of the best all -rounders of his era, has become the big name of the commentary world after his retirement. On Air, Irfan, known for its expert opinion and outspoken comments, was overshadowed by Irfan. He was dropped from the commentary panel for IPL 2025.
In fact, the names of the commentary panel for IPL 2025, which started from 22 March, were announced on March 21, but it did not have Irfan Pathan’s name, which appeared in the commentary regularly after its retirement.
A report claimed that Pathan has been ignored this time due to complaints from many Indian cricketers, who believe that Irfan not only runs a personal agenda in live commentary against him but also writes on his social media account.

According to media reports, a player allegedly blocked his number by a player, angry with Pathan’s comments during the Australia series.
However, Irfan Pathan is not the first high-profile commentator who has been removed after the complaints of the players. Earlier, Sanjay Manjrekar and Harsha Bhogle were also dropped from the commentary due to the displeasure of Indian cricketers.

In 2020, Sanjay Manjrekar was removed from the BCCI commentary panel for India’s ODI series against South Africa. The decision was taken after several controversial incidents of 2019, including a dispute with fellow commentator Bhogle, sarcasm on Sourav Ganguly and calling all -rounder Ravindra Jadeja “BITS and Peace Player”.
A few days before the start of IPL 2016, Bhogle was removed from the commentary roster without any clarification. Then Bhogle wrote on his Facebook page, ‘I still don’t know why I am not commenting in IPL.
