Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan recently shared a lighthearted moment with his brother Yusuf Pathan, setting sibling relationship goals in a viral Instagram post. The video captures a mix-up and verbal spat between the Pathan brothers during the World Championship of Legends (WCL) match against South Africa. Irfan humorously captioned the video with “Brothers when they are alone,” followed by a heartwarming clip of the two hugging, titled “Brothers in front of parents.” In his caption, Irfan poked fun at the common nature of sibling fights, writing, “Brothers, can you relate?”
The match itself saw South Africa Champions defeating India Champions, while Australia Champions triumphed over West Indies Champions in the final league games of the WCL 2024 at County Ground, Northampton, on Wednesday. With these results, the league stage concluded, and the four semi-finalists were determined. Pakistan Champions will face West Indies Champions in the first semi-final, and Australia Champions will play against India Champions on Friday, July 12. The winners of these matches will clash in the final on July 13.
In the match against India, South Africa Champions posted an impressive total of 210/8 in 20 overs, thanks to blistering half-centuries from opener Jacques Synman and wicketkeeper Richard Levi. Synman, continuing his excellent form, scored 73 off 43 balls, including 10 fours and 3 sixes. Levi added to the onslaught with a 25-ball 60, featuring 5 sixes and 5 boundaries, helping his team dominate the middle overs. Despite a strong comeback from the Indian bowlers in the death overs, led by Harbhajan Singh’s 4/25, the Proteas managed to set a daunting target.
India’s chase faltered early, with their top five batsmen back in the dugout for just 77 runs in 11.3 overs. Yusuf Pathan’s unbeaten 54 off 44 balls and Irfan Pathan’s quick 35 off 21 provided some resistance, but the asking rate proved too steep. India eventually fell short, losing the game by 54 runs.
The Pathan brothers’ on-field spat and subsequent Instagram post brought a humorous and relatable touch to the high-stakes tournament, reminding fans that even in competitive sports, family bonds and playful moments prevail. As the WCL 2024 heads into the semi-finals, cricket enthusiasts eagerly await more thrilling action and memorable performances.
