Everyone would remember his innings against the Mumbai Indians in 2010 in which he registered an astonishing century off just 37 deliveries. He played 43 matches for Rajasthan Royals and scored 1001 runs at a fabulous strike rate of 161.24. Yusuf also picked up 20 wickets at an economy of 7.39.

During his tenure at RR, Yusuf won nine Man of the Match awards. His knock against the Chennai Super Kings in the final of the inaugural IPL was very crucial for the Royals as it helped them clinch the title in 2008.
