"Absolutely stunner @iamyusufpathan Bhai. Ye Pathan k hath hai thakur," Khan replied to Irfan's tweet.

Yusuf, however, failed to contribute with the bat, managing a second-ball duck as Baroda set a 150-run target, which they failed to defend.
Both Yusuf and Irfan are all-rounders and have represented India. Yusuf, the elder brother played 57 ODIs while Irfan played 29 Tests and 120 ODIs.
