Irfan Pathan, the former Indian pacer, shared a funny meme on social media regarding a mix-up he had with his brother Yusuf Pathan during a match between their team, India Champions, and South Africa Champions in the World Championship of Legends (WCL).
During the WCL game, the incident took place when a miscommunication between the Pathan brothers led to Irfan getting run-out. It happened on the first ball of the 19th over, where Irfan attempted a risky second run after hitting a lofted shot off Dale Steyn's delivery. However, Yusuf hesitated, causing the mix-up and resulting in Irfan's dismissal.
Despite the error causing frustration between the brothers, they eventually reconciled by sharing a hug at the end of the innings, showcasing their strong bond. The social media response to Irfan's meme has been positive, highlighting the close relationship they have.
Although India struggled to chase down South Africa's total of 210/8, the brothers' camaraderie remained intact despite the setback. India's bowlers made a late comeback, but it wasn't enough to overcome South Africa's powerful batting performance, ultimately leading to their defeat.
