Beginning his career as a left-arm fast-medium swing bowler (evoking comparisons with Pakistan's Wasim Akram), Irfan Khan Pathan improved his batting skills to become a bowling all-rounder, even opening the batting on occasions. This led to critics comparing him with former Indian all-rounder Kapil Dev. His instinct is not merely what to bowl to who and when, but also to keep learning new tricks. His crucial spell of 3 for 16 in the final against Pakistan in the 2007 T20World Cup earned him the Man-of-the-Match award.
