IPL 2018, SRH vs RR: Irfan Pathan Throws UNIQUE Challenge For Brother Yusuf Pathan. Will He Oblige Tonight?

IPL 2018, SRH vs RR: If Yusuf Pathan walks the talk, it could be doomsday in the field for Rajasthan Royals

Sunrisers Hyderabad takes on Rajasthan Royals in their season opener at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, minus David Warner and Steve Smith. It will be the Match 4 of Indian Premier League Season 11. The first two days infused a great energy into IPL — be it Sunil Narine’s 17-ball 50, KL Rahul’s 14-ball 50 or be it Dwayne Bravo’s match-winning 68 off 30 balls. As expected, this IPL season is challenging a lot of records and creating new ones.

But such record-breaking innings have piqued the interest of two cricketing brothers — Yusuf Pathan and Irfan Pathan. Recently, we got to see some audacity from younger brother Irfan who challenged his elder brother to go past KL Rahul’s IPL record of 14-ball 50. Irfan wants Yusuf to better Rahul’s record and hit a half-century in 13 balls. It is impossible, but not out of Yusuf’s reach. Yusuf is an ex-Royals player, who hit a century in the inaugural season of IPL.

Irfan Pathan took to Twitter and wrote:

KL Rahul outstanding innings. Fastest 50 in the ipl @iamyusufpathan bro let’s try for 13 balls now ?

To this, Yusuf responded:

Tere liye 13-ball me bhi 50 bana neka try karenge Insha Allah bhai and well played @klrahul11 . Also, it’s lovely to hear you in the commentary box @IrfanPathan hope you’re enjoying the new role. @IPL https://t.co/SclybmZbt1

So it is clear, Pathan Sr will go for it in all probability. If he walks the talk, Match 4 could prove to be doomsday for Rajasthan Royals.
