Legends League Cricket: Yusuf Pathan smashes 80 in India Maharajas win over Asia Lions

Former Indian all-rounder Yusuf Pathan smashed 80 overs with five sixes and nine fours in the opening match of the Legends Cricket League in Muscat on Thursday (Jan 20), with just 40 balls lifted the Indian Maharaja to 6 wickets over the Asian Lions. Chase 176 to win, substitute captain Mohammed Kaif is unbeaten on 42 in 37 balls (5×4), while Irfan Pathan is unbeaten with 21 in 10 (2×4, 1×6), with 5 in reserve.

Batting first, the Lions were 175/7 in 20 overs, with former Sri Lanka opener Upul Tharanga scoring 66 of 46 balls (7×4, 2×6) while captain Misbah-ul-Haq 44 30s with 4 sixes and 1 four. Former Pakistan wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal was another important scorer with 25 of 17 balls. For the Maharaja, Manpreet Gony was 3/45, while Irfan Pathan was 2/22 in four overs. In the chase, Kaif’s side lost early to Stuart Binny (10) and Subramanium Badrinath (0), but Yusuf’s whirlwind 117 runs with his captain helped his side win easily.

“I’ve always liked ‘Killer’ Rohit Sharma. He’s a great player and I have to watch every time he hits. His captain is also great for the Mumbai Indians. So he probably is next,” Peterson said.

Recently, legend Sunil Gavaskar backed young Rishabh Pant to captain India, but Pietersen said it would be the wicket-taker’s turn one day. “You’re spoiled…but Pant isn’t yet, maybe one day…but when you get Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, you get some strong cricketers.”

The Briton, who is part of the world giants, will face the Asian Lions in the Legends Cricket League in Muscat on Friday (January 21). “Trust me, when you cross the white line, you want to play well. We are all looking forward to it. The first edition will be a difficult one, purely because of lack of time, but when the second season happens in September , guys will be better prepared. It’s our responsibility to develop the game here,” he concluded.

About Squid Game

Squid Game season two premiered on December 26 last year. It starred Lee Jung-jae and centred around a secret competition in South Korea that target people in debt and the winner get a big cash prize. However, losing the game is deadly. Directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, Squid Game season one released in 2021.

Speaking with AP recently, Dong-hyuk said that he originally conceived of the show 15 years ago as a two-hour film but it failed to gain traction with financiers or even interested actors. He put it aside and worked on other films instead. He then had the idea to make it a TV series instead and took the project to Netflix. There, it could reach a wide audience. “I never in my wildest dream thought it was going to be this huge,” he had said.
