Former India cricketer Irfan Pathan celebrated India Champions’ triumph in the final of World Championship of legends 2024 in a hilarious manner with brother Yusuf Pathan and captain Yuvraj Singh. Notably, India beat Pakistan Champions by five wickets in the final on Saturday, July 14 at Edgbaston, Birmingham.
Following their win, the entire team celebrated their win jubilantly as they posed with the trophy. Pathan also shared a hilarious video of their celebrations on social media. In the video, Yuvraj can be seen thanking the Pathan brothers for the win.
Further, Irfan reveals his phone conversation with Yuvraj where he asked him to just hit sixes during the tournament. However, Yuvraj cuts in to say that he needed Irfan to bowl in the final.
The ‘Sixer King’ further hilariously says that Irfan denied to bowl the fourth over after and asked him to choose one between his batting or him bowling the fourth over. In the end, the trio hug each other to celebrate their victory.
