Irfan Pathan taunted

When Farhan was on 99, he completed his century by taking a single to long-on off Gerhard Erasmus’ ball in the last over. Commentator Irfan Pathan commented on this, ‘A century has been scored, but with a single? Incredible!’ He also said that while he should have been happy with his figures, playing defensive shots in the last over and giving up the final ball was beyond comprehension.

‘Amazing’ comment

Irfan said, ‘Played a defensive shot in the last over, then left the last ball. Wonderful!’ His statement meant that the batsman should not think about focusing on his personal milestones instead of playing big shots. However, Shadab Khan impressed the audience with his attack, hitting two sixes and scoring a total of 16 runs in the over. Irfan also praised him, and said that it is necessary to attack the spin bowler like this.
