Yusuf Pathan is an IPL legend. No doubt about that. A big hitter and a handy off-spinner, he made history with the Rajasthan Royals before being the finisher for the Kolkata Knight Riders with many memorable victories in his belt. His stint with the Sunrisers Hyderabad though hasn't been much to talk about.
His performance in 2018 was much better than in 2017 but still, wasn't enough for holding a spot in the team for him. He averaged 28.88 and scored 260 runs in 15 matches last season and honestly, the chances of him doing better than that this season is very slim.

Yusuf Pathan
With David Warner making a return and a possible shuffle in the batting order due to Wriddhiman Saha, Yusuf might well not get a chance to play if he doesn't perform well and nevertheless, he might feel that this season might be the best time for him to retire with the World Cup approaching and all, this might be the last season in the IPL for Yusuf Pathan.
