New Delhi: The same Virat Kohli to whom Gautam Gambhir had given his Man of the Match award, was later seen fighting with him on the field many times. When Harbhajan Singh attacked Sreesanth, whom he considered as his younger brother, many such incidents were seen on the cricket field which were the result of the heat of the moment. Now something similar has been seen. Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan got into a very bad fight with his brother Yusuf Pathan. He was run out in the World Championship of Legends (WCL) match against South Africa Champions due to confusion.
When Dale Steyn ran him out in the 19th over, Chhote Mian got angry
Actually, this incident happened on the first ball of the 19th over, when Irfan played a high shot on Dale Steyn’s ball. The ball fell safely between two fielders. Irfan and Yusuf tried to steal some runs. Irfan looked eager for the second run, but Yusuf refused and sent Irfan back. Meanwhile the ball came back. Steyn caught the ball and dropped the bails. Now Irfan got very angry with this and he scolded his brother Yusuf a lot. The whole conversation made the elder brother a little tense.
India reached the semi-finals despite losing
In the match, South Africa won the match by scoring 210 runs for 8 wickets. India had to score 153 or more runs to reach the semi-finals. They lost the match by 54 runs, but qualified for the semi-finals, ending South Africa’s hopes as well. South Africa scored 210/8 in 20 overs on the back of brilliant batting by Jacques Snyman and wicketkeeper Richard Levi, and the bowlers ended their campaign with a win by restricting India to 156/6 in the stipulated 20 overs.
Cinnamon showed his prowess with the bat
Cinnaman, who scored an unbeaten 82 against Pakistan in the last match, once again showed his batting prowess and laid a strong foundation for his team by scoring 73 runs (10 fours and 3 sixes) off 43 balls. Later, Levi scored 60 runs off 25 balls with the help of 5 sixes and as many fours and helped his team dominate the middle overs. Although the Indian bowlers made a strong comeback in the death overs, they could not stop the Proteas from scoring big. Harbhajan Singh (4/25) bowled brilliantly for India. The Turbanator did wonders with his off-spin bowling.

The magic of Harbhajan Singh’s spin
The Indian openers failed to give their team a good start in the run chase and their top five batsmen were dismissed for just 77 runs in 11.3 overs. Yousuf (54 not out off 44 balls) and Irfan (35 off 21 balls) made crucial partnerships, but they failed to guide their team to victory. The first semi-final will see Pakistan Champions take on West Indies Champions, while the second semi-final will be played between Australia and India on Friday.
