2019 World Cup comes to Bengaluru, Gambhir fan invades pitch and more - Cricket News Today, 07th December 2018

#3 Pathan smacks 26 runs off one over

This picture might be from 12 years ago, but Pathan still seems to be as handy with the bat

Its been over six years since Irfan Pathan last donned the India jersey, but much like Gambhir, the pacer-turned-allrounder has an army of fans. At 34, each passing day dims his hopes of making a comeback for the Indian team, but Pathan doesn't seem to be spent force as a cricketer just yet.

Playing for Jammu & Kashmir against Uttar Pradesh, Pathan used the long handle to stunning effect, hitting four consecutive sixes (just the fifth Indian to achieve the feat).

He joined Ravi Shastri, S Reuben Paul, Yashpal Sharma and Kapil Dev as one of the Indians to hit four or more consecutive sixes. Pathan ended with 91 off 76 balls.
