I was playing at 150 and Mohammad Yousuf was playing at 170 and the fans were shouting that ” Younis Khan ko out karro, Mohammad Yousuf ko out karro”. Just because they want to see Shahid Afridi bat. And I was like, I am playing at 150 and nearing my double century and that too against India but they just wanted to see Shahid Afridi bat. And when he came to bat he slammed 4-5 sixes and people left the stadium when Afridi got out, they didn’t even wait for my double ton.” Younis Khan said in the viral video.
