Yusuf Pathan century could not stop South Africa from winning the series

Yusuf Pathan

Yusuf Pathan was the real savior for Indian who helped India from a humiliating defeat to a decent one. Well at one stage it looked as if Yusuf would single handedly win the game for India. Yusuf was brutal and he scored the century in such a staggering pace which came of just 68 balls.

Yusuf Pathan was majestic and his knock consist of 8 sixes and 8 fours. There was no other Indian batsman who gave support to Pathan. The likes of Yuvraj , Dhoni Raina and Rohit Sharma failed once again and went cheaply. It looks like Yusuf Pathan has earned a right reputation for himself at No 7 but the biggest worry for India is its middle order with Dhoni , Yuvraj and Raina totally looking out of form.

South Africa can feel proud about themselves since they came back from 2-1 to win the series 3-2. This is a very good achievement by the Proteans which can make them very proud.

Yusuf Pathan confirms a place in the World Cup squad



Yusuf Pathan played a swashbuckling knock under pressure to take India to a 4-0 lead in the on going ODI series against NewZealand. Pathan's shear brilliance took the game away from Kiwis who played good cricket for the first time in the tournament. Yusuf Pathan with this century has booked a place for himself in the squad and has virtually closed the door for Jadeja.

Yusuf Pathan with his bowling and hard hitting with the bat fits the team as the perfect all rounder. Indian team looks very strong on paper and it all depends on how well they play on the given day. All the best to team India and congratulations for Yusuf Pathan and we all hope that he will carry on his good work !!!
