Yusuf Pathan didn’t just send balls sailing out of the park, he has also effectively hit Kolkata Knight Riders out of the Indian Premier League.
Rajasthan Royals were in trouble at 69-4 chasing Kolkata’s 147. But Pathan smashed 48 from 18 balls, with three sixes and five fours, and knocked off the remaining runs with ease in the company of Mohammad Kaif, who made 34.
It was a must-win match for Kolkata, who were asked to bat by Shane Warne. Their innings lacked momentum from the beginning, and they ended up with an ordinary score.
