#Vadodara: Yusuf Pathan had slapped a young spectator while reacting over his “indecent comments” during Ranji Trophy Cricket match between Baroda and Jammu and Kashmir.
He had been upset by remarks which had been passed by the young spectator when he was batting at the Reliance Cricket Stadium where the hosts were playing against Jammu and Kashmir.
Secretary of Baroda Cricket Association (BCA) Snehal Parikh said that the spectator had been passing “indecent comments” against Pathan as well as other players during the match.
Parikh said, “This youngster had been shouting and passing indecent comments against Pathan and other players, such as Ambati Rayudu, when they were batting. Pathan was in no mood to tolerate such behaviour. Thus, after he got out, he called that youngster inside the dressing room and allegedly slapped him twice.”
She also said when Yusuf’s younger brother cricketer Irfan Pathan learnt about the incident, he rushed to the dressing room to bring the situation under control.
Anshuman Gaekwad, another BCA Secretary said that the matter was “amicably resolved” after a family member of the youth came and apologised on his behalf.
