Gujarati is Gujarati. Wherever he is in the field, he always keeps waving the flag. Team India's former all-rounder Yusuf Pathan, who left international cricket many years ago, may have now entered politics and become an MP, but his explosive batting has not slowed down. Last night in the Legends League cricket final, Pathan batted brilliantly to pull his team out of defeat but could not lead the team to victory. Konark Surya Odisha star Yusuf Pathan scored 85 runs in just 38 balls in the final against Southern Super Stars in Srinagar, but he could not lead his team to the title.
52 runs scored in 2 overs, rain of sixes
In this final played at Bakshi Stadium, Srinagar, Konark's batting order collapsed in response to the target of 165 runs given by Southern Super Stars. The team lost 6 wickets for 91 runs in 14.1 overs and with 17 overs remaining the score was 118 runs for 8 wickets. At this time the team's hopes were completely pinned on Yusuf Pathan and the 41-year-old batsman did not disappoint the team. He brought the six-member team closer to victory.
Innings of eight sixes and six fours
When Yusuf came to bat in the 10th over after the team lost four wickets, he showed a glimpse of his explosive ability. In the 16th over, Yusuf scored a total of 24 runs with the help of two sixes and three fours in Subodh Bhati's over. Which includes two sixes and two fours in four consecutive balls. When the team needed 35 runs in the last two overs, Yusuf's bat thundered. In the 19th over, he hit four sixes and a four on the fourth, fifth and sixth balls of spinner Pawan Negi. In this way a total of 28 runs were scored in the over. In this way he scored 52 runs in 2 overs.
Out on the last ball, heartbroken in the super over
Now only seven runs were needed in the last over, but Chaturanga de Silva changed the match. Pathan was on strike on the last ball, but could score only one run and was run out while trying to take the second run. In this way the match became tied. The match went into the super over and here too Yusuf hit a six, which was his ninth six of the match, but he was out here and his team's score in the super over became 13 runs. In reply, Martin Guptill hit back-to-back sixes on the first and second balls of the over for Southern Super Stars and then the team won the match on the fifth ball and won the title for the first time.
