http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 Daredevils’ stint – Cricket News Update
The Delhi Daredevils’ all-rounder, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Irfan-Pathan-c1601, says that he is enjoying his stint with his current outfit, following an impressive start to this year’s Indian Premier League.
The left-arm pacer, after returning from a career threatening back injury, has been performing exceptionally well in the on-going season, which currently sees his Delhi side occupy the top spot. His controlled bowling and strong hitting has been key for
the franchise, with him being an indispensable all-round option.
“I am thankful to God for what I am able to do right now. Yes, I have gained better control over my game. I don't know what others are saying about me, but I am certainly feeling better," said Pathan while talking to
Times Of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
The 27-year-old is relishing the scenario of playing alongside some of the world’s greatest players. He added that IPL has provided opportunities for youngsters to gain valuable experience from some of the finest talents in cricket.
"When you have stars like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/HA-Varaiya-c1520 bhai (Sehwag) has been outstanding as a captain It has been exciting to be a part of a group which is hungry for
success," Irfan said.
The left-handed all-rounder emerged on the international stage at the age of 19 and was termed as the future http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kapil-Dev-c70234, owing to his ability to swing the new ball and contribute meaningfully with the bat.
However, he has been plagued by injuries throughout his career, and a subsequently dip in form has seen him play little cricket with the national side since 2009. Following a recovery from a serious back complaint, and a good showing in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kumar-Shri-Ranjitsinhji-c71870 Trophy,
Pathan made a comeback to side after he was recalled for the final two ODIs of the home series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 late last year.
He then travelled Down Under, and was also selected in the squad for the Asia Cup 2012, before taking guard in the on-going IPL.
This is Pathan’s second season with Delhi Daredevils – with the first one ending in disappointment after the team finished at the bottom of the table. However, the double D’s have made a rollicking start to their current campaign, wining five out of their
seven matches.
The speedster will be hoping to continue his new found form when his side takes on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians on April 27, 2012 at their home ground, the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium.
