There was a surprising and annoying incident amongst brothers Irfan and Yusuf Pathan during the India Champions vs. South Africa Champions of the World Championship of Legends 2024 match number 15, which took place on July 10 at County Ground in Northampton. The incident stunned teammates and fans alike, occurring at an important stage in the game.

South African star bowler Dale Steyn bowled the last over of the Indian innings, in which everything unfolded. India's star all-rounder, Irfan Pathan, tried a massive throw but was only able to get an upper edge that went long-off. The Proteas fielder immediately gave the ball back, even though a catch was not taken.

Irfan, seeking the second, was already nearly halfway down the pitch amid the chaos, but his older brother was reluctant to return for the second, which ended up in the southpaw's runout. Following this occurrence, Irfan Pathan was seen lashing out at Yusuf Pathan for his dismissal.
