MALAPPURAM: Yusuf Pathan, who made India proud in many cricket matches, put on his gloves again on the small turf in Nilambur. Later, he took up his bat and took to the field with his old spirit. Trinamool Congress MP and former Indian cricketer Yusuf Pathan had come to campaign for PV Anvar, who is contesting as an independent candidate in the Nilambur by-election.
During the campaign, Pathan, who reached the media sports turf, talked to the children about cricket for a while. Later, when he put on gloves and entered the field, the children were also overjoyed. Many jumped out with excitement to play with him. The children were happy to see the cricketer who once thrilled the nation with his innings. Although it has been a long time since he left the cricket field, Pathan's performance proved that he still has the old fire on the field.
While Pathan was hitting the ball all over the field, Nilambur's Ashim took Pathan's wicket. In between, PV Anvar also entered the field. Anvar, who defended Yusuf Pathan's ball, proved that he also knows the game. Pathan left after playing cricket with the children for about 20 minutes. The Anvar camp's campaign says that Yusuf Pathan came to hit a six for PV Anvar at the Nilambur crease.
