India all-rounder Irfan Pathan was overjoyed after his elder brother, Yusuf Pathan took an excellent catch to dismiss Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli. Irfan compared Yusuf’s catch as if the latter plucked a mango from a tree.

The elder brother Yusuf replied to his brother that they used to do the same in their childhood days. Consequently, that habit hasn’t gone away.

It is a famous saying that, “Catches win you matches”. Yusuf Pathan is not generally known for his heroics in the field, but the Sunrisers Hyderabad all-rounder was able to take a one-handed stunner to dismiss Virat Kohli.
