No player has more IPL titles than Yusuf Pathan, who has three (two with KKR and one with RR) and thus it shouldn't come as a surprise that one of IPL's biggest stars, the all-rounder has played considerably more matches in the tournament than international matches.

He has represented India in 79 matches and is the only player on this list, apart from his KKR teammate Robin Uthappa, who hasn't represented India in Tests. The bulk of the 34-year-old's 79 international games came in ODIs and having played his last international game in 2012, it looks unlikely to don the Indian colors again. In the IPL, however, after 134 matches, he still remains a regular for his side, KKR.

In his 79 international games, Yusuf Pathan scored 1,046 runs at an average of 24.32. In the IPL, he has scored nearly thrice as many runs at a better average as well. 2,761 runs at an average of 30.67 gives you an idea of just why he is still an asset to his side even at the age of 34.
