‘I get nervous while watching Yusuf bat’

Port Elizabeth: They play for two different teams in the Indian Premier League, but Irfan Pathan said he feels the pressure watching his brother Yusuf bat and prays for him.

Yusuf, playing for defending champion Rajasthan Royals, continues to make headlines with his dazzling display in the second edition of the IPL and Irfan said he liked to watch his brother in action. “I get very nervous while I am watching him (Yusuf) bat. I just don’t want him to get out,” Irfan said.

Asked about when he is bowling to Yusuf, Irfan said,“then it’s a different matter.” — PTI
