Yusuf Pathan gives sharp reply to ex-England spinner’s sledge during LLC match

The Legends League Cricket (LLC) tournament helps in providing the right balance between a friendly contest and a touch of competitive spirit as veterans of the game get a fresh opportunity to relive their playing days.

However, during some of these matches, the veteran players do tend to get carried away. This came to notice during the match between Konark Suryas Odisha and Toyam Hyderabad at the Molana Azad Stadium in Jammu on Sunday.

During the 16th over of the first innings of the match, former England cricketer Monty Panesar sledged Indian World Cup winner Yusuf Pathan who looked to struggle during his knock. After a few dot balls in the over from Panesar, the bowler taunted the Indian saying, “Are you playing a Test match?” leaving the commentators in splits.

Yusuf smiled initially, but after Panesar repeated his words, he replied saying: “How many Test wickets do you have?” The fun banter between the 2 cricketers drew even more laughter from the commentators.

It can be said that Monty got the last laugh here as not only did Yusuf lost his wicket after only scoring 7 runs off 18 deliveries, his side Konark Suryas Odisha were restricted to 100/9 in 20 overs. The target of 101 would be easily achieved by Toyam Hyderabad with 10 balls to spare as captain Gurkeerat Singh Mann scored an unbeaten 50-ball 52.
