#2 Yusuf Pathan

Despite being the elder of the two brothers, Yusuf Pathan made his international debut 3 years after his younger brother did. Famous for his powerful hitting abilities, Yusuf soon became a permanent member of the limited overs squad. However, a dip in form and a string of poor performances ended his international career in 2012, with only 77 international matches in his bag.
In the IPL, however, Yusuf is still the same player that he was for the Rajasthan Royals in the inaugural season. Yusuf featured in all the matches for the team in 2008, scoring 435 runs at a strike rate of 180 and taking 8 wickets as well. Along with Shane Watson, Yusuf was the force behind the memorable victorious campaign for Rajasthan Royals.
Yusuf joined the Kolkata Knight Riders squad in 2011 and became a permanent member of the team for 7 years. His performances in the 2012 and 2014 edition, where he scored 194 runs and 268 runs respectively, played a very important role in taking the team to the IPL title in those years. After his stint with KKR ended in 2017, Yusuf was signed by Sunrisers Hyderabad for 2018 season.
