The commentary panel for IPL 2025 was recently announced. This time the name of former all-rounder Irfan Pathan is not included in the list. A shocking revelation has been made about why he has been kept out of the commentary panel.

In cricket, along with the players, commentators also increase the thrill of the match through their commentary. A big commentary panel has also been announced for IPL 2025. But this time former all-rounder Irfan Pathan is not a part of the commentary panel. He has been seen in every big cricket event as a commentator for the last several years. But this time everyone is surprised not to see his name in the list. Everyone has the same question in their mind that why will Irfan Pathan not do commentary in IPL this time? A shocking news has come out on this.

Why is Irfan Pathan not a part of the commentary panel?

According to media reports, Irfan Pathan has been excluded from the commentary panel because he spoke against some Indian players. Some players had complained about Pathan's commentary. These players had alleged that Irfan was making personal comments on them. It is believed that this has happened because of what Irfan Pathan had said about some players during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. At the same time, it has also been claimed that after his commentary in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, a player had even blocked him on the phone.

Irfan Pathan was speaking against some players under a personal agenda, which the system did not like at all. Apart from this, his attitude is also considered to be a big reason. Due to this, BCCI is angry with him. Let us tell you, this is not the first time, before this Sanjay Manjarkar has also been removed from the commentary panel after complaints from players. He could not be a part of the commentary panel for a few years. However, he returned later.
