The news had it that after a hot exchange of words on the field of play, Yusuf Pathan and Irfan Pathan made up for it.
Yesterday, at the County Ground in Northampton, the Pathan brothers helped their team India Champions to set up a semi-final meeting with Australia Champions after they hit lusty blows against South Africa Champions in the World Championship of Legends 2024.
India Champions were looking down the barrel at 77/5 when Irfan walked in to join his brother Yusuf at the crease.
Yusuf smashed an unbeaten 54 off 44 balls (2 sixes, 4 sixes) while Irfan struck a six and four fours during his knock of 35 runs scored from 21 deliveries.
Irfan was run out after he and Yusuf batted together for only a brief time and amassed fifty-six runs.
The pathans put on a quickfire partnership of 56 before Irfan was dismissed by Run Out.
SABC Sports showed a clip from World Championship Legends where Yusuf and Irfan were hitting them all over south africa champions including decades gone by.
South africa champions won this match by fifty-four runs but india champions advanced on better net run rate.
The semifinal between India Champions and Australia Champions is slated for Friday.
Both have retired from professional cricket; however, Irfan who is younger now works as commentator while elder brother, Yusuf remains Lok Sabha MP representing Behrampore.
