Young Turks - 1 - Yusuf Pathan

Starting a series on the young turks who have featured in the IPL and who hold promise as future India stars. Today, I start off with Yusuf Pathan !

What a series this lad is having ! 3 half centuries and several other crucial innings - coming at a strike rate of about 200 !, the record for the quickest fifty, plus a few wickets, but looking beyond stats, this guy really looks like he can hit the ball a long long way ! And the hitting is clean and straight ! He has played for India in the T20 World Cup final. Definitely a candidate for Team India at least in limited overs cricket in the immediate future.

Who would you like to see listed in the young turks category next ? Let us have your opinions.
