Pathan brothers disappoint father at Kotla

The Pathan family made their presence felt at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium on Thursday, but Mehmood Khan was disappointed after his elder son Yusuf Pathan couldn't get the massive hits for Kolkata Knight Riders against Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League (IPL) here Thursday.


Delhi Daredevils' Irfan Pathan

For Mehmood, it was a case of split loyalties as his elder son played for the Knight Riders while his younger son Irfan played for the Delhi Daredevils. "It was great to see both my sons playing against each other. It is a completely different feeling for me. I don't know whom to support in this match," said Khan.


KKR's Yusuf Pathan

Though he was unfortunate not to see Yusuf's big hits, he was impressed with Irfan's performance. Yusuf was caught by his brother at long-on off Umesh Yadav. "I love to see Yusuf's big hits, but today I was disappointed. But I am happy with Irfan. He bowled well and took a couple of good catches. He is slowly finding his rhythm and I am hopeful that a national call is not far," he said.
