Irfan Pathan announced his retirement from all forms of the game in 2020 after representing India in 120 ODIs, 29 Tests and 24 T20Is. The all-rounder was part of the MS Dhoni-led unit which triumphed in the inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup in 2007.

Both Sachin Tendulkar and Irfan Pathan are currently involved in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Tendulkar has been serving the role of a mentor for his former side, Mumbai Indians. The five-time champions have already been eliminated from the IPL 2024 playoff race. Meanwhile, Pathan has been covering the tournament as a part of the official commentary panel.
