10 famous Indian cricketers and their fathers’ occupations

9. Irfan Pathan, Yusuf Pathan, and Mehmood Khan Pathan

The Pathan brothers grew up in Vadodara's Jama Masjid, where their father, Mehmood Khan Pathan, worked as a muezzin. He also had a second job, where he would work in a seven-hour shift in a chemical factory nearby. Mehmood was asked to vacate his one-room tenement because the mosque management felt that he did not take proper care of a copy of the Quran in 2005. However, he believes that he was fired because the authorities were jealous of him and his sons.
