13. Yusuf Pathan

In India’s 2010-11 tour of South Africa, Yusuf Pathan showed his class in the ODI series with 166 runs in three appearances, at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 134.95. With this performance, he won the confidence of the selectors to make it to the 2011 World Cup team.
In the marquee event, Pathan failed to show up as he could score only 74 runs in six matches. However, the fierce batter saved the team from defeat against Ireland, with his match-finishing innings of 30 runs off 24 deliveries. In February 2021, he took retirement from all forms of competitive cricket. Last year, he participated in the 2022 installment of the Road Safety World Series along with Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh, and his brother Irfan Pathan.
The former Indian cricketer also runs the Cricket Academy of Pathans with his brother Irfan Pathan. In 2014, he launched his dream venture with his brother to improve the level of cricket coaching in the country. Yusuf Pathan is currently playing in the inaugural edition of the International League T20 for Dubai Capitals and has been appointed their skipper as well.
Apart from that, he also took in the inaugural editions of the ZimAfro T10 and the US Masters T10 tournament, where he showed his brute hitting force in several games. In his recent tournament played in the US, he represented the New Jersey Triton's, where he was the highest run-getter for his side. Playing the role of a finisher, he ended his US Masters' campaign with 131 runs from seven appearances. During his stint, he smacked 11 sixes and maintained a stellar strike rate of 201.53 with an unbeaten 41 being his best score in the tournament.
Interestingly, he also visited the CricTracker premises, recently, to share valuable knowledge on cricket and other related activities.
