Watch: Irfan Pathan Gets Run Out After Mix-Up With Yusuf Pathan, Gives A Mouthful To Brother In World Championship Of Legends
Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan was involved in a terrible mix-up with brother Yusuf Pathan, which led to the former's dismissal in a World Championship of Legends (WCL) match against South Africa Champions. The incident happened on the first ball of 19th over after Irfan played a lofted shot off Dale Steyn's delivery. The ball landed safely between two on rushing fielders, with Irfan and Yusuf trying to steal a couple of runs. While Irfan was adamant to go for the second, Yusuf, initially agreed, but decided to stop after taking a couple of steps forward.
This left Irfan in no man's land as Steyn collected the through and dislodged the bails. Irfan was left fuming over the same as he gave a mouthful to his brother Yusuf.
