NEW DELHI: India’s Pathan brothers Yusuf and Irfan have always shown tremendous love and respect for each other, both on the field and off it too.
Once in an IPL match, Irfan took a skier of a catch to dismiss Yusuf, playing for the opposite team. The catch completed, Irfan did not even celebrate.
But human emotions do tend to make their way out in tense situations and more so when a cricket match is delicately poised.
A video has surfaced where the Pathan brothers showed their frustration at each other after Irfan was run out during the World Championship of Legends 2024 match between India Champions and South Africa Champions at the County Ground in Northampton on Wednesday.
The moment occurred in the 18th over of the India Champions run chase when Irfan hit a Dale Steyn delivery to deep covers. The Pathan brothers took a single and Irfan wanted a second too.
But Yusuf ended up watching the ball and raised his hand to ask Irfan to stay put. But Irfan was already halfway down the pitch and by the time he turned back to get back to the crease, the throw from the deep landed in the hands of Steyn who removed the bails to run out Irfan.
A frustrated Irfan shouted at his brother Yusuf probably accusing him of watching the ball, who also screamed back in frustration.

Though South Africa Champions won the match by 54 runs, India Champions qualified for the semi-final on the basis of a superior net run rate.
