A Bold Prediction in the Wake of a Career Shift
Former India all-rounder and cricket commentator Irfan Pathan didn’t let his recent exclusion from the IPL 2025 commentary team slow him down. Instead, he launched a new chapter by creating a YouTube channel dedicated to cricket analysis and predictions, which quickly captured the attention of cricket fans worldwide.
The Launch of ‘Seedhi Baat with Irfan Pathan’
On March 22, shortly after his departure from the traditional commentary world, Irfan Pathan started his YouTube journey. His channel, Seedhi Baat with Irfan Pathan, has already become a popular platform where he shares insights and predictions about cricket. Notably, Irfan’s new venture has amassed over 100,000 subscribers in just six days, illustrating his enduring popularity and the strong following he maintains among cricket enthusiasts.
Irfan’s Top Teams for IPL 2025
In his latest video, Irfan made a compelling prediction about the teams he believes will make it to the playoffs in IPL 2025. His top picks include:
- Chennai Super Kings (CSK)
- Mumbai Indians (MI)
- Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)
- Delhi Capitals (DC)
These squads, according to Irfan, have started their campaigns with promising victories and are strong contenders for the playoffs. Last year, only RCB among these had advanced to the playoffs.
Recent Controversies and Public Response
Irfan’s commentary career was marked by a recent setback when he was reportedly dismissed from the IPL commentary team due to alleged personal grudges aired during broadcasts. This controversy mirrors an earlier incident involving former player Sanjay Manjrekar, who faced a similar fate with the BCCI in 2020. Despite these challenges, Irfan has transitioned smoothly into his new role as a digital content creator, leveraging his expertise and fan base effectively.
