Pathan picks his favorite

Soon after his announcement, when the veteran all-rounder was asked which was his most favorite moment between the hat-trick and the 2007 World Cup final performance, Pathan picked the latter.

Irfan Pathan said, "I feel fans love the hat-trick more because the way ball swung that is a very rare sight that is why people love it. But it is special when you win the World Cup, it is everything. When we won the World Cup in 2007 and when your contribution to the final is significant then it is just cherry on the cake."
