Yesterday's game between World Giants and India Maharajas saw Irfan Pathan dancing after his brother Yusuf Pathan hit a gigantic six. An entertaining contest turned out to be even more entertaining because of this one candid moment.

It was during the eleventh over the second innings, and Brett Lee was bowling to Yusuf Pathan. The former Indian cricketer hit the legendary pacer for a 95m six. Thus, his younger brother, Irfan Pathan, who was watching the game from the dressing room, celebrated his brother’s brilliance by performing ‘Bhangra’ in a heartwarming moment for everyone.

 

 

The over then went for 10 runs. However, the 39-year-old was eventually dismissed for a well made 45 off 22 deliveries. Post his dismissal, Naman Ojha, who was batting on 95, was also dismissed in just the next over.

It is to be noted that the Maharajas were chasing a massive score of 229. Earlier in in the first innings, a Herschelle Gibbs' special (89 off 46 deliveries) propelled the Giants to a mammoth total of 228. Thus, if the Pathan-led side had to make it to the final, they had to chase this total, and win this game.

However, they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Irfan Pathan tried his best towards the end by scoring a valiant 56 from just 21 deliveries, but even that wasn't enough to get his side over the line. Thus, Lee ended up defending eight runs in the last over, and ensured that his side won by five runs.
