IPL 2017: 5 reasons why Gujarat Lions should play Irfan Pathan

#5 Form of other all-rounders

Ravindra Jadeja GL IPL 2017 — Jadeja has had a forgettable IPL season and Irfan could be an ideal replacement

Gujarat Lions boast of some amazing all-rounders in Ravindra Jadeja, James Faulkner and Dwyane Smith. But the fact of the matter is that none of the three has had a good season. While Smith and Jadeja have failed in both respects, Faulkner has redeemed himself with his bowling.

However, with Pathan in the dugout, Gujarat should make things happen rather than waiting. Jadeja has been poor right through the season and with Ankit Soni available for spin duties, Gujarat could consider Pathan instead of Jadeja or Smith.
