Irfan Pathan Names Sunil Narine as Greatest T20 Cricketer of All TimePreviousNext

Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has named West Indies spinner Sunil Narine as the greatest T20 cricketer of all time. Pathan chose Narine over notable players like Rashid Khan, AB de Villiers, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah, citing Narine's all-round abilities and higher batting position. Narine, a three-time IPL winner with Kolkata Knight Riders and a T20 World Cup champion, has played over 600 T20 matches, taking 658 wickets and scoring 5,000 runs. Despite no longer playing international cricket, he remains active in the IPL.
