The 34-year-old Yusuf is currently playing Ranji Trophy for his state team under the captaincy of his brother Irfan Pathan. Yusuf, who last played for India in 2012, started the current season with twins tons against Madhya Pradesh.
Irfan even uploaded a video that showed his brother Yusuf reaching the landmark with a big hit that was followed by an animated celebration where Irfan was seen leaving his bat at the non-striker's end, slowly walking down to Yusuf and then giving him a tight hug.
