Irfan Pathan and Yuvraj Singh tease each other over Ben Stokes
Heroics from Ben Stokes saw England jumping back in the three-match Test series against West Indies with a victory. The English all-rounder is now the number one all-rounder in Test cricket as per ICC rankings. The New Zealand-born cricketer not only wowed the cricket fans but also former cricketers with his performance. India’s former all-rounder Irfan Pathan’s praising tweet for Stokes then lead to a funny banter between him and Yuvraj Singh.
Indian cricket will be unbeatable anywhere in the world if they have a match winning all rounder like @benstokes38 #matchwinner

Pathan’s tweet reached Yuvraj, who then responded with the following.
Are you saying we don’t have a all-rounder who’s a match winner ??

Pathan handled this tricky delivery from Yuvraj with ease and smashed it for a boundary with his reply.
Bro Yuvraj Singh has officially retired…

Pathan featured in 173 international matches for India. The seam-bowling all-rounder scored around 2,800 runs and claimed 301 wickets. He was the first Indian pacer to take a Test hat-trick.
Yuvraj dazzled with his eye-pleasing batting and bamboozled batsmen with left-arm spin. One of India’s best white-ball batsmen, the left-hander amassed more than 11,000 international runs and took 158 wickets. In the 2011 World Cup, he was the Man of the tournament for India (362 runs and 15 wickets).
