Profile
Yusuf Pathan always harbored a dream of making it to the national squad, a place which came faster to his younger half-brother Irfan Pathan. A hard-hitting batsman, who wastes no time while at the crease and a handy off-spinner, the younger Pathan was a hit in the Indian domestic Twenty20 and Deodhar Trophies. He will always consider himself lucky for his rare International debut which came in the final of the ICC World Twenty20 in 2007 when India won. Pathan played the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League for the Rajasthan Royals where he emerged one of the most successful players of the tournament with both the bat and ball. He scored the fastest half-century of the IPL in 21 balls and was a hit for consistently scoring runs at a brisk rate, relying mostly on boundaries. His success in the IPL led to a berth in the national squad.
