Yusuf Pathan, who played his last ODI for India in 2012, turned 38 on Tuesday.
Ex-India cricketer Irfan Pathan shared a throwback picture with his brother Yusuf Pathan on his birthday. Yusuf turned 38 on Tuesday and Irfan took to Twitter to post the unseen photo.
In the picture, a young Irfan can be seen wearing flower garland around his neck after return from a tour. His elder brother Yusuf was standing in the background along with his family members.

“Ye us waqt ki baat Hai jab ham patle hua karte the or Humari muche bhi [This is from the time when I used to be thin and had a moustache. Love you Lala @yusuf_pathan,” Irfan tweeted.
Irfan and Yusuf were part of the T20 World Cup 2007 win and they also went on to play many matches for India together. Back in 2009, the Pathan brothers had won an almost lost match against Sri Lanka.
India was 7 down on 115 in 15.1 overs, and they needed 57 runs more in 29 deliveries. Yusuf and Irfan made sure India doesn't lose any more wickets and ended up with 22* off 10 deliveries and 16-ball 33*, respectively. India won the match by 3 wickets.
