#3) He is among the bowlers with most maiden overs in IPL
Moving aside from international cricket for a while, let's take a look at the Indian Premier League. Having picked up 80 wickets, Pathan is a seasoned bowler in IPL too. Not only his wicket-taking abilities with his swing bowling are worth a look, but also his ability to contain runs. He has bowled 10 maiden overs in IPL. Only Pravin Kumar with 14 maiden overs is ahead.
Irfan Pathan also holds the dubious distinction of playing for the most number of IPL franchises among Indians. He has played for six different teams since the inaugural edition of IPL. Indian wicket-keepers Parthiv Patel and Dinesh Karthik share this record with him.
