Mumbai: After being in oblivion for couple of seasons, allrounder Irfan Pathan is back among the wickets swinging the ball both ways and proving handful with the bat.
The Baroda skipper led his team to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Twenty20 final and has emerged the top wicket taker with 16 scalps in nine games.
With Indian team struggling in limited overs cricket in recent times skipper M.S. Dhoni has been always left gasping for a bowling allrounder.
Currently youngsters Hardik Pandya and Rishi Dhawan are in the mix but if they don’t impress in Australia selectors will be keeping close eye on in-form Pathan ahead of the Asia Cup Twenty20 and World Twenty20.
Pathan admits Indian comeback is what he is looking at but at the moment he proud to lead Baroda.
“That’s why I play cricket. That will be a nice story to tell the way I have gone through in the last 2-3 seasons. It will be the happiest moment. But I am keeping my head down and try to do what I am doing. Along the way things happen,” he said.
