Yusuf Pathan learnt his first lessons in cricket not in any playground or cricket field, but in a mosque, where his father was a muezzin. Irfan Khan and his elder brother Yusuf Pathan had their devotion only in the game, whereas their father wanted them to become Islamic intellectuals. Even though, Irfan got a place in team India earlier, Yusuf is no less in talent. His English might be weak but, once on field, its only his bat which does the talking. Yusuf is a bankable spinner as well. He is the fastest player in IPL to
score half century in 21 balls.
