The elder Pathan brother and also a World-Cup winner with the national side in T20Is just a few months ago, Yusuf Pathan turned out to feature for the eventual winners Rajasthan Royals.

He smashed 25 sixes while making 435 runs across 16 games and he scored these runs at an amazing strike rate of 179.01. Yusuf Pathan thus became one of the best-performing Indian players in the first ever season of the IPL, also scoring a memorable 56 in the final against Chennai Super Kings - that led Rajasthan to the title.

The trio of Yusuf, Watson and Tanvir played a key role for Rajasthan in winning the inaugural edition.

Yusuf did not have any big innings to his name, but he still managed to score four half-centuries and was a consistent six-hitter, hitting sixes in almost every inning that he played in IPL 2008.
