In the World Championship of Legends 2024, the biggest rivals of cricket, India Champions, and Pakistan Champions are facing each other. Whenever these two rivals face off against each other, it creates a magic that attracts every spectator who loves cricket. In this match, Pakistan Champions batted so well that they put up a mammoth total of 243 runs. While chasing India Champions fought very hard to be in the game but lost a couple of crucial wickets. Meanwhile, a tragedy happened in between chasing as Indian veteran player Yusuf Pathan was dismissed without even playing a single bowl.
Yusuf Pathan Dismissed on Diamond Duck:
In the 8.3 over, Afridi bowled to Raina, leading to a crucial moment in the match. Raina played the ball, but a mix-up ensued, resulting in Yusuf Pathan being run out without facing a delivery. This unfortunate run-out occurred due to sharp fielding by Aamer Yamin and quick reflexes from Kamran Akmal. Pathan, dismissed for a diamond duck, added pressure on the batting side as they lost an important wicket without adding any runs to the scoreboard.
Pathan’s run-out was a turning point, highlighting the fielding team’s agility and coordination. Afridi’s delivery to Raina was played towards a fielder, and in the confusion that followed, Pathan attempted a risky run. Yamin’s accurate throw to the wicketkeeper, Akmal, was swift, and Akmal didn’t miss the opportunity to remove the bails. This sequence of events emphasized the tight fielding and quick thinking of the fielding side, putting the batting team on the back foot.
With Pathan’s unexpected dismissal, the batting team had to regroup and find a way to stabilize their innings, facing increased pressure from the opposition’s disciplined fielding and bowling attack.
India Champions’s Score Right Now:
The India Champions are at 129 for 5 in 13.4 overs, with a current run rate of 9.44 and a required rate of 18.16. They need 115 runs from 38 balls to win.

The match is at a crucial stage, and their ability to find boundaries and rotate the strike efficiently will be key to keeping the chase alive. The pressure is on as they aim to narrow the gap between the runs needed and the balls remaining.
