The ongoing Coronavirus pandemic has led to the whole nation being under the lockdown for a period of more than a month. People all around the country are spending most of their time on social media, including cricketers and celebrities in order to pass the boredom.
Several cricketers including Virat Kohli, David Warner, Rohit Sharma, Kevin Pietersen, Yuzvendra Chahal, and many more, have been indulging in various social media activities. On Wednesday, it was Yusuf Pathan’s turn to go live on Instagram, where he opened up about many things– from his personal life and his cricketing career.
During the live interaction, Yusuf Pathan was asked several interesting questions, to which the cricketer happily answered. However, the most interesting round came where he was asked to describe the Indian cricketers in one word or one-liner and the cricketer has impressed us with his answers.
The name of the first cricketer which came was none other than the legendary batsman, Sachin Tendulkar. Describing him using a one-liner, Yusuf Pathan called him ‘God of Cricket’. He had said:
“What can I say about him? There is a lot that I can say. About him now I will just say, ‘God of Cricket’,”
The next name that came up was of one of the most loved and talented skippers of India, MS Dhoni. Describing him using a word, Yusuf Pathan said “Clever.” And when it came to describing the World Cup hero Yuvraj Singh, Yusuf Pathan said: ‘rockstar’.
Besides this, he also picked Shane Warne as his favorite skipper in IPL, under whom he has played for three years. Showering praises on Warne, Pathan said:
“I played for three years under Shane Warne in IPL. There are many memories with him. He used to guide us how to dismiss batsmen well before the game and we used to implement them and batsmen used to get out in a similar fashion,”
He added:
“Unfortunately, I couldn’t play for more than three years under him. Without any big players, he took our team to the final and won the title in the inaugural edition, there were many domestic players and less international stars during that time in RR. Only a captain like him can win the title with a few resources around,”
