10 most overrated players in the history of cricket 

#9 Yusuf Pathan

Yusuf Pathan's career never took off

The Indian all-rounder may have shown what he was made of when he hit the first ball of the T20 World Cup final against Pakistan in 2007 for a six, but, Yusuf Pathan’s career remains a case of unfulfilled promise.

He could be an immensely destructive player on his day but, he delivered rarely, and that is what makes him such an overrated player.

He had a strike rate of 113.60 in ODIs and a whopping 146.58 in T20Is, but that all becomes quite ineffective if the player averages only 27 and 18.15 in the two formats respectively.

Every time he played, the hype followed but before long India’s team management realized that he was too unpredictable a player to persist within the long term.
