#2 Yusuf Pathan

The man-of-the-match of 2008 IPL final, Yusuf Pathan will be regarded as one of the finest players in the history of IPL given his all-round credentials. After spending first three seasons at Rajasthan Royals, the 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup winner moved to Kolkata Knight Riders ahead of season four. The Vadodara-born all-rounder who won two titles (2012 and 2014) during his seven-year stint with the Kolkata-based outfit established himself as one of the vital cogs of the KKR set-up.

The 37-year old who was consistent with the bat throughout his stay at the Shah Rukh Khan co-owned franchise was released by them ahead of 2018 IPL auction owing to a poor outing in season ten in which he managed just 143 runs in 15 matches. After joining Sunrisers Hyderabad for INR 1.9 crores, Pathan couldn't make much of an impact having amassed 260 runs and 40 runs in 2018 and 2019 IPL respectively. The vastly experienced player who represents Baroda in the domestic circuit has played 57 ODIs and 22 T20Is for the Men in Blue. The dashing all-rounder who has scored 3204 IPL runs apart from picking up 42 wickets in 174 matches will be missed in the upcoming IPL edition.
