CRICKET
Team India allrounder Irfan Pathan has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket on Saturday (December 4).
Yusuf Pathan dedicated an emotional message for his brother Irfan after the allrounder announced his retirement from all forms of cricket on Saturday (December 4).
No one can forget about his hat-trick in the first over of the Karachi Test of 2006 for Team India and is the only cricketer to achieve this feat till now.
He was also a key part of the 'Men In Blue' squad which lifted the inaugural Twenty20 World Cup in 2007 under the leadership of former skipper MS Dhoni.
However, the 35-year-old veteran cricketer may still remain available for the overseas franchise-based leagues.
Yusuf took to Twitter to express his thoughts on how him winning the 2007 World T20 along with his brother Irfan was the most memorable moment of his playing career.
“The memorable moment playing with Irfan was to win the T20 World Cup in South Africa,” Yusuf's post read.
Irfan instantly responded to this post and said how he learned how to hit sixes from Yusuf and also taught him how to be a strong person in life.
“My brother and my friend without you nothing is possible. Not only cricket, you taught me how hit sixes. You taught me how to be strong without saying a word. You were always there for me and always be. Lots of love my brother,” Irfan Pathan’s reply read.
