Yusuf Pathan, one of the most powerful players in the Indian cricket team, is celebrating his birthday today. Born in Vadodara, the player turns 39 today. Yusuf Pathan's career did not last long, according to his talent, but he won 2 World Cups in his short career. Yusuf Pathan is part of the 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 World Cup-winning team. Sachin was picked up by Yusuf Pathan on his shoulder after winning the World Cup 2011. 

Yusuf Pathan was born in a very poor family. Poverty was such that Yusuf's house did not even have a toilet. However, even this poverty could not stop the talent of Yusuf and his younger brother Irfan. Yusuf Pathan used to play cricket with his brother Irfan in the courtyard of the mosque. Soon, the two brothers travelled to the Indian team.

Yusuf Pathan is considered to be one of the biggest hitters in Indian cricket. In the first season of IPL, Yusuf Pathan scored a century against Mumbai Indians off just 37 balls. His record remained intact for 4 seasons as Chris Gayle then broke Yusuf's record by scoring a century off just 30 balls in 2013. Yusuf, however, is still the fastest Indian to score a century in IPL. Yusuf Pathan's T20 debut was tremendous. Virender Sehwag suffered an injury before the final of the 2007 T20 World Cup and MS Dhoni gave Yusuf Pathan a chance to replace him. Dhoni took Yusuf Pathan to the opening and the player gave the Indian team a great start with 15 off just 8 balls.
