Pakistan pacer Muhammad Irfan said in a recent interview that former Indian cricketer and current Lok Sabha member Gautam Gambhir was not comfortable batting against him.

Recalling the 2012 bilateral series, Irfan claimed that Gambhir avoided eye-contact with him when he dismissed the Southpaw four times in the series. Gambhir played only one more white-ball series before being dropped for the Indian side.

Speaking to Samaa, the 7ft 1 inch tall Irfan said, “When I played against India, they were not comfortable batting against me. Some of them told me in the 2012 series in India that they couldn’t sight my ball properly because of my height and also didn’t read my pace.”
