Yusuf Pathan has been one of the most loyal and longest-serving cricketers in the history of the Kolkata Knight Riders. Pathan, who is playing his sixth season for the 'Men in Purple and Gold’, has scored over 1700 runs for the IPL franchise.

The 33-year-old pinch-hitter from Vadodara is the second highest run-getter for KKR after his captain, Gautam Gambhir. Pathan has gone on to play some crucial knocks for the Knight Riders from time to time en route to his cumulative 1785 runs at a healthy average of 31.31.

Having said that, the elder Pathan flaunts of a mind-boggling figure strike rate of 137.83.

Yusuf, who happens to be Irfan Pathan's elder brother, is also a handy part-time bowler to have in one's team. He has not only picked up 29 wickets for the Kolkata Knight Riders but also exhibits an impressive economy rate of 7.33.
