Yusuf Pathan
Yusuf Pathan hung up his boots as he announced retirement from all formats of the game on Friday. The 38-year-old featured in 57 One-Day Internationals and 22 T20Is for India. He was widely acknowledged as an imposing player in the blue jersey.
His 37-ball hundred in the IPL 2010 edition is still the second-fastest in the history of the league. Pathan last featured in the Indian T20 tournament in 2019 for the Sunrisers Hyderabad. He was released by the franchise, and did not find any buyers in the auction ahead of the 2020 season.
During his tenure with the Indian team, Yusuf Pathan was an authentic all-rounder and starred with both the bat and ball. He has always provided impactful performances for the team by either helping the team post-above-par totals or picking wickets at crucial situations. Not many might have forgotten his match-winning partnership with his brother Irfan Pathan in a T20 game against Sri Lanka.
