As the Indian Premier League builds momentum, the role of all rounders in the short form of cricket cannot be overstated. Two brilliant players, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Irfan-Pathan-c1601 and Jean-Paul Duminy are considered to be some of the most dynamic all rounders that are trying
to make their mark in the exciting tournament.
Irfan Pathan is playing for the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 Daredevils and Jean-Paul Duminy is currently with the Deccan Chargers. High-lights of both players are as follows:
Irfan Pathan was born on 27 October, 1984 at http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Baroda-c769, India, is a left-arm medium fast bowler and left-hand batsman.
He has played for India, Middlesex, Baroda, Kings XI http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Punjab-c833 and Delhi Daredevils.
Irfan is a very talented all rounder, regarded as a swing bowler who can move the ball both ways with accuracy. He is a good learner and never hesitates to adapt the new techniques of the game. Pathan is a very useful batsman and has played attacking knocks
for his teams. He forced himself in the lime-light of international cricket when he was a teenager and made his Test debut against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 in all three formats of the game, but has been in and out of the team recently.
He was a member of the Indian team which took part in the ICC World Cup 2007. He was a key member of the ICC World T20 Championship held in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 where India ended up lifting the Trophy. Irfan grabbed 10 wickets in the tournament and took three wickets
for just 16 runs in the final match played against their arch rival http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755, which earned him the coveted ‘Man of the Match’ award for his winning performance. He has represented Kings XI Punjab in the initial three matches but was signed by the Delhi Daredevils
for the 2011 IPL season.
Irfan made his debut in T20 cricket playing for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hampshire-c789 on 22
June, 2005 at Southampton which his team won by 18 runs and he took three wickets in that match.
He has played 72 matches and has taken 79 wickets at an average of 23.94 runs with the best of 4 for 27 runs. Pathan has scored 841 runs at an average of 22.13 runs with the best of 60 runs.
He will be the star of his team throughout the event and will prove his worth by his performance.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jean-Paul-Duminy-c66758 was born on 14 April, 1984 at Cape Town, South Africa. He is a left-hand batsman and right-arm off break bowler.
He has played for South Africa, Western Province Boland, South Africa Under-19, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians and the Deccan Chargers.
Duminy is a compact and attacking middle-order batsman who has the quality to mend the breakage caused by the failure of the top order batsmen. He can steer his team through a crisis with his skilful cover drives, square cuts and punishing the ball through
the gaps. He is known to be a partnership breaker with the ball and fills in the gap as a spinner in the team.
He made his debut in T20 cricket playing for Western Province Boland against Dolphins on 7 April, 2004 at Cape Town where his team won by six wickets.
He has played 94 matches and scored 2270 runs at an average of 33.38 runs, best of unbeaten 99 runs with 15 fifties. He has taken 24 wickets at an average of 23.04 runs with the best of 4 for 24 runs.
Duminy has played many brilliant innings for his teams and will be watched as he takes on some of the top players in the world during this exciting tournament.
