Pathan’s former India teammate and dear friend Yuvraj Singh commented on that post questioning Pathan whether he was pointing out that India do not have a quality all-rounder.

To which, Pathan had another cheeky reply ready, which said:

“Bro Yuvraj Singh has officially retired…”

Yuvraj who has seen Pathan’s all-rounder capabilities from close quarters during his playing days opined that the former India player from Baroda was a good enough all-rounder as well.

“I knew that was coming! Waise aap bhi kuch kam nahi they! (You weren’t any less).”

Pathan, who has more than 300 international wickets has played 120 ODIs and 29 Tests for India. He started out as a left-arm fast bowler and later developed his batting skills scoring more than 1000 runs in both formats.
