India Maharajas defeated Asia Lions by a whopping 10 wickets during the Legends League Cricket 2023 on Tuesday. While captain Gautam Gambhir and Robin Uthappa made headlines for their unbeaten partnership of 159 runs, Irfan Pathan also became a talking point for a spectacular catch. In the first innings of the match, Tilakratne Dilshan was dismissed on 32 off 27 on the bowling of Stuart Binny, after Pathan grabbed the stunner. In the fourth ball of the ninth over in the first innings, Binny bowled a short ball on the wide length, which surprised the batsman. While Dilshan should have collected a boundary in the ball, he played a cut shot in the air toward the third man. Pathan pulled off a whole-hearted dive to his left and leaped the catch from the air. However, the main highlight of the dismissal was Pathan’s celebration after taking the stunner. The 38-year-old was seen lying on the ground on one side when he swiftly sent the ball up in the air with a smirky smile. “That celebration style was fantastic and smile after Catch is very Classic by @IrfanPathan,” a fan reacted to Pathan’s tweet.

After Jasprit Bumrah’s injury, Rishabh Pant met with a deadly accident that ruled him out for months to come. Then, during Australia’s tour of India for the Border Irfan named skipper Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill as the opening pair, with Test specialist Cheteshwar as the top-order batter. Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane make it to the XI and take the fourth and fifth spot in the lineup respectively. Interestingly, Pathan chose Ishan Kishan as the wicketkeeper-batter ahead of KS Bharat. The choice is going to be a difficult one to make eventually, as Bharat has recent experience of playing against the Australian lineup, given that he was a part of India’s scheme of things during BGT 2023. Kishan, on the other hand, brings a lot to the table with his aggressive batting style and hence is also a contender for the spot in the middle. Pathan included Ravindra Jadeja as the spin-bowling all-rounder, and kept the second spot open for either of Ravichandran Ashwin or Shardul Thakur, saying that the ultimate decision will depend upon the pitch conditions. Nevertheless, it is unlikely for India to play without their leading spin-bowling all-rounders Ashwin and Jadeja. Lastly, Pathan named Mohammed Shami, Ume...

The India Maharajas failed to reach the final of the inaugural Legends League Cricket tournament as it suffered an agonising five-run defeat in the must-win encounter against World Giants on Thursday. Led by a well-rounded performance and an over of Brett Lee magic at the end, the World Giants sealed its spot in the final alongside Asia Lions, which pipped the Maharajas with two wins to its tally. Sent into bat by the Maharajas, the Giants served out a dominant batting performance against a hapless Indian bowling unit. Opener Herschelle Gibbs cracked a flawless 46-ball 89 with seven sixes and as many fours while solid knocks from Phil Mustard (57, 5*4, 4*6) and Kevin O'Brien (34, 5*6) helped the Giants record the highest total of the tournament - 228/5 in 20 overs. In its reply, the Maharajas found themselves reeling in the PowerPlay with the early dismissals of Wasim Jaffer (4) and S Badrinath (2). However, Naman Ojha and Yusuf Pathan soon paired to resurrect the chase, and the duo lifted the scoring rate rapidly with a flurry of big hits in a 103-run partnership. Ojha, who smashed a scintillating 140 against the Giants in their last meeting, hit the straps running once again as he brought up his fifty in 30 deliveries. Yusuf joined in on the act with a quick-fire cameo off 45 from 22 deliveries before being dismissed by Albie Morkel in the 13th over. India's chances slipped further below as it lost Stuart Binny (3) before Naman Ojha was dismissed by an excellent catch by...
