Now aged 35, Yusuf Pathan has had an impressive IPL career since being named in the 2008 best XI. He has not played for India for over five years but has represented both the Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL.

In the inaugural season, he scored 435 runs and took eight wickets. He recorded the season's fastest half-century - 50 (21) - against the Deccan Chargers and was also the Man of the Match in their final victory against the Chennai Super Kings.

Pathan is a hard-hitting batsman and off-spinner whose style is heavily suited to white-ball cricket. He has struggled to become a regular in ODI teams because of inconsistent form.
