WATCH: Yusuf Pathan refuses to leave the ground despite umpire rules him out; senior Mumbai players interfere
Yusuf Pathan has been one of the biggest names in Indian cricket. The Baroda-based all-rounder was one of the first big-hitters of the country.
He is well known for making his debut in the T20 World Cup 2007 final against Pakistan. Given that the team picked him as a replacement for Virender Sehwag shows why he is so dangerous.
Though he could not make it big at the international level, Pathan always remained a star player in the domestic arena. He played for Baroda besides donning the Kolkata Knight Riders jersey in the IPL.
KKR released him after a few disappointing seasons and then, Yusuf landed in the Sunrisers Hyderabad camp. However, his poor form had led to his release before the auction.
While it is no secret that Yusuf Pathan is just a shadow of his former self, one cannot deny that he possesses incredible experience of playing cricket. The Baroda all-rounder is one of the marquee players for his state in the domestic tournaments.
Talking about domestic tourneys, Ranji Trophy is the most prestigious domestic cricket tournament in India and it is a matter of pride for every player to play in the competition. However, the umpiring standard has not been up to the mark in this tournament. Yesterday, we saw one of the best examples of this case.
