Not long back, Yusuf had taken another brilliant catch against Goa in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. It was the all-important catch of Goa skipper Darshan Misal.
Known for his six-hitting prowess, Yusuf is certainly proving a lot of critics wrong by showing athleticism and super fitness on-the-field.
After the completion of Vijay Hazare and Deodhar Trophy, Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament is another important domestic competition which provides everyone with a chance to showcase their skill and strength in the shorter format.
It also serves as a perfect platform for the young and talented cricketers to hone their skills and grab eyeballs ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 auction in December in Kolkata.

Mangaluru: In response to recent cross-border attacks by Pakistan and rising tensions along the international boundary, the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security has directed airports across India to enhance security protocols. As part of this nationwide alert, Mangaluru International Airport has intensified surveillance, and introduced secondary ladder point checks (LPSC).
Explaining about the new protocol, Jaideep Shenoy, Public Relations Officer at Mangaluru International Airport, said that the secondary ladder point security check involves a second round of frisking. Passengers will first undergo standard checks by the CISF at the security checkpoint. Before boarding the aircraft, either via a boarding bridge or a bus, they will be subjected to an additional frisking by airline staff at the gate. Shenoy emphasized that the LPSC is a standard security measure implemented at all airports.
He also urged travelers to stay updated by checking the airport’s official social media channels for accurate and timely information.
In light of circulating reports regarding restrictions on visitor entry, Shenoy clarified that the entry of visitors into the terminal has always been restricted. Visitors may accompany passengers up to the departure gates or receive them at the arrival gates, as per existing rules.
In an advisory issued on Friday, Mangaluru International Airport urged passengers to arrive well in advance of their scheduled departures to accommodate extended security checks, and to cooperate with airport and security personnel.
The airport authorities also urged people not to share any unverified information.
