The big hitting Pathan was the greatest success story of the inaugural edition of the IPL for the Rajasthan Royals. He has not quite been able to replicate his performances for the Kolkata Knight Riders, but he enjoys the confidence of the team management and his skipper Gautam Gambhir.

Pathan has the potential to change matches in a jiffy and he would hope to finally live up to his labelling, and be able to provide the late kick needed to the innings. Also, on the sluggish surface at the Eden Gardens, Pathan is more than handy with his off spinners and would ideally like to provide that edge to his team.

He is an out an out match winner on his day and KKR fans would love more for his ‘day’.

In 119 matches in the IPL, Yusuf has amassed 2400 runs with an average over 28 and an impressive strike rate of nearly 147. With the ball he is no slouch either, as he has prized out 40 wickets with a more than acceptable economy of 7.39.
