Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has shared a touching untold story about pacer Rasikh Salam Dar following his match-winning performance for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Wednesday. Salam claimed 4/24 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, propelling RCB to a five-wicket victory. In a video shared on social media, Pathan recalled discovering the Jammu and Kashmir pacer during a 2018 selection trial. After watching Salam bowl just two balls, Pathan stopped him. Fearing another rejection, a disheartened Salam began to leave. However, Pathan had actually seen enough to fast-track the 'special' talent into the senior state side.
