During the 15th match of the World Championship of Legends 2024 between the India Champions and South Africa Champions on Tuesday, July 10, the Pathan brothers got into an ugly altercation. Irfan Pathan and Yusuf Pathan were caught on camera yelling at each other on the crease following a miscommunication.

In the 9th over of the match, bowled by Dale Steyn, Irfan Pathan attempted a slog shot on a slower-length ball but only managed a top edge that didn't reach the boundary rope. The fielder nearly caught it but fumbled, and the ball was quickly returned to Steyn at the non-striker's end.

While Irfan had run halfway down the pitch, he failed to reach the crease in time as Steyn swiftly took the catch and dislodged the bails. After his dismissal, Irfan tried unsuccessfully to persuade Yusuf to attempt a second run. Following this, Irfan expressed his frustration towards his elder brother for not running.
