The 34-year-old has had good start to the season with two centuries under his name in the ongoing Ranji season. Baroda will next play Tripura from November 1 in a crucial Group C encounter at Vadodara..
It was couple of days back that Irfan uploaded a video that showed his brother Yusuf reaching the century with a big hit which was followed by an animated celebration with Irfan was seen leaving his bat at the non-striker's end, and slowly walking down to Yusuf and then gave him a tight hug.
