In the first match of the Legends Cricket League (LLC), India Maharajas faced Asia Lions. In this match, Asia Lions led by Shahid Afridi won the toss and decided to bat first. While batting first, Asia Lions scored 35 runs for the loss of two wickets in five overs.
In the same match, Irfan Pathan of India Maharajas took the wicket of the second batsman, which has gone viral on social media. Actually, India Maharajas’ fast bowler Irfan Pathan troubled Asghar Afghan with his swing bowling in his very first over. Asghar was facing Irfan Pathan’s first delivery of the over.
He tried to flick the ball that was coming towards the middle stump and hit it over the fielder’s head at mid-wicket for a shot, but he misread the line and length of the ball. The ball went straight and hit his pad, and he was given out LBW.
Asghar Afghan remained silent on Irfan Pathan’s inswinging delivery and returned to the pavilion with just one run on the scoreboard. For your information, Asghar Afghan has previously captained the Afghanistan cricket team. Meanwhile, the video of Afghan’s dismissal is going viral on social media.
I would like to inform you that although Irfaan Pathan’s age is increasing, his cricket playing style is still old-fashioned. The fast bowler Pathan is famous not only in cricket but also in his personal life. He married Saudi Arabia’s model Safa Baig, who is 10 years younger than him.
The wedding took place in 2016, and they have a son. Pathan often shares his son’s photos on social media. It is worth mentioning that both Irfaan Pathan and his brother Yusuf Pathan are playing in the same team.
