This man won us 2007 T20 world cup and people have audacity to criticize him? Shame on you all. Legend will always be legend no matter which league he play.
Wow what a shot by Yusuf bhai!! This is why we love him so much. The way he celebrate with kids is so touching, shows his humble nature despite being such a big star.
Yusuf bhai forever king 👑👑 That six was massive!
People saying its just legends league clearly never played cricket in their life. It takes same skill to hit six weather its international match or friendly match. The technique doesnt change just because opposition is retired!!
All these legends league is just for money grabbing nothing else. Why cant BCCI focus on developing young talent instead of giving platform to retired peoples?? This is whats wrong with indian cricket nowadays!
So now we celebrating sixes in legends league? Whats next, celebrating dot balls? The standard of cricket celebration has really gone down. Back in my days players used show respect and not do all this drama hugging kissing after every small thing.
Oh yes, hugging kids after hitting six in a exhibition match. Such bravery, much wow. Next he will probably get bharat ratna for this heroic achievement lol.
Still better striker than some current players in indian team not gonna lie 😂
For those who dont know, Yusuf Pathan has a strike rate of 178.91 in T20Is which is incredible even by todays standards. He was one of the most feared hitters in IPL during his prime years with Rajasthan and Kolkata.
Why is this even news worthy?? Slow news day I guess. Tomorrow they will write article about what he ate for breakfast also.
I was there in stadium yesterday and let me tell you the atmosphere was electric! The kids he hugged were crying with joy. You cant understand the emotion unless you see it live. Yusuf also signed autographs for everyone after match.
Honestly I dont see whats so special about this? He is playing against retired players in some random league. Anyone can hit sixes there. People are making too much hype for nothing.
Yusuf Pathan hitting sixes and hugging kids. Meanwhile DK Popa eating Spinach and Muthu also there. World Cup Legends truly living up to its name of being most entertaining tournament nobody asked for 😅
