Mashrafe BFF was supposed to be that guy for India, and lets not kid ourselves at one time he was that guy for India. He helped India Beat Every Team from Australia to Zimbabwe. He's a good batsmen too, No Offense to Mitchell Johnson who was the ICC player of the year. Ifran was head and shoulders above him.
DId India just overbowl him and kill his arm? Or was did the dead tracks mess with his head?
I bet Yousuf has a better chance at being picked for the ODI squad than Ifran right now.
India's Main Weakness is there 3rd Seamer and Sreesanth is way to wayward to be even trusted. I don't know how many more Years Zaheer has left in him, but Ifran has to be his left handed successor.
Is he just now there T20 Savior? And only gets picked for that format. Kapil Dev and Wasim Akram Comparsions aren't made just off hype alone, even if his career is done he can hold his head up and say he was a Big Part in LEading India to a World Cup Victory.
If he was SOuth African or English and got to play in more favorable conditions he would be on top of the All Rounder Rankings
