Former Indian cricketers Irfan Pathan and Yusuf Pathan, known for their strong brotherly bond both on and off the field, were involved in a memorable moment during the World Championship of Legends tournament in England. Playing for India Champions, the brothers faced a tense situation during an important group-stage match against South Africa Champions.
While batting together, a mix-up led to Irfan being run out, with Dane Vilas and Dale Steyn teaming up to make the dismissal. Following this, Irfan turned back and angrily confronted Yusuf. Yusuf, not holding back, also shouted at Irfan. This on-field spat quickly went viral, surprising fans with this unexpected clash between the usually close brothers.
However, on July 12, Irfan turned the incident into a humorous moment by sharing a funny meme on social media. The meme showed the video of their argument with the caption “Brothers when they are alone.” It then transitioned to a clip of the brothers hugging on the field after Irfan kissed Yusuf on the forehead, with the caption “Brothers in front of their parents.” Irfan’s caption, “Brothers, can you relate?” added a playful touch, highlighting how siblings often argue but quickly makeup.
