It has been an exhilarating year for Irfan Pathan since his debut in Adelaide last year but Baroda speedster is hungry for more success.

It has been an exhilarating ride for Irfan Pathan on the fast lane of international cricket. But one year after his debut, the 21-year-old pace sensation is hungry for more success.

"It has been a good year, I am quite happy with my performance. But I want to look what is in front, look forward, want to keep doing the good work I have done so far. I want to concentrate on my cricket, I don't want to sleep on my success," Pathan told PTI on Tuesday.

Pathan's maiden appearance was in the historic Adelaide Test last December when India recorded its first win in Australia in 20 years.

Since then, Pathan has been the team's bowling spearhead, his lethal left-arm swing bowling proving to be a key weapon for Sourav Ganguly and Co.

The amazing aspect of Pathan has been that when he came on the international scene he was a well developed fast bowler.
