Yusuf Pathan

Another all-rounder who played for KKR (2011-17) is Yusuf Pathan. The T20 specialist made a name for himself when he scored a century from 37 balls for Rajasthan Royals in 2010. In the next auctions, he was drafted in the KKR squad and went on to play for them until the start of this season. In 103 innings for KKR, he scored 2061 runs at a strike rate of 135.91 and took 39 wickets in 56 innings.
Pathan has won the championship thrice. His first win came with the Rajasthan Royals in 2008 while the other two were with KKR in 2012 and 2014. It was Pathan’s blistering knock of 72 from 22 balls that helped KKR to make it to the playoffs in 2014.Interestingly, the batting blitz came against SRH. Maybe that's why the SRH management wanted him in their camp this season so that he doesn't pull off another repeat.
