Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan lashed out his brother Yusuf after a horrible mix-up led to his runout in India Champions’ game against South Africa in the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2024.
With India Champions needing 79 of last 12 balls, Irfan and Yusuf were on the crease after building a steady partnership.
However, both brothers were involved in a horrible mix-up that led to the runout of Irfan Pathan on the non-striker’s end.
The incident occurred on the first ball of the 19th over when Irfan attempted a long shot towards the covers on Dale Steyn’s delivery.
The South Africa Champions fielder threw the ball back to the bowler’s end where Steyn dislodged the bails leading to the left-handed batter’s runout.
Replay of the runout showed that Irfan Pathan was looking to come back for the second run after playing the shot, however, Yusuf Pathan failed to communicate with his brother and stayed in the crease after finishing one run.
Seeing his brother staying in the crease, Irfan made an attempt to return to the crease at the non-striker’s end, however, Steyn had dislodged the bails and run him out.
