WCL 2024 | Twitter nostalgic as Irfan Pathan brings back memories of 2006 bamboozling Younis Khan
For cricket fans, nostalgia has a unique charm, especially when itโs reignited by the same players years later. Fans were transported back in time as Irfan Pathan masterfully recreated his iconic 2006 moment, claiming Younis Khan's wicket with a splendid delivery that shattered his middle stump.
On the third delivery of the 12th over, Pathan unleashed a beautifully pitched fuller-length ball aimed at the 46-year-old veteran. The ball landed squarely on the middle stump seaming sharply at the last moment. Furthermore, Khan leaned forward for a leg-side drive, and misjudged Pathan's craft entirely. As the ball pitched, it came inward and crashed into the middle stump. A disheartened Younis trudged back to the pavilion while jubilant Indian players celebrated the crucial breakthrough.
The wicket stirred a sense of nostalgia echoing Pathan's famous hat-trick dismissal of Younis in the Karachi Test. In that historic match, too, Pathan's delivery had swung back full catching Younis off guard as it struck his pads plumb in front of the stumps. Twitterati, fresh with memories revisited and celebrated this momentous dismissal on social media.
