On March 27 2021, Pathan tested positive for Covid-19 disease.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Yusuf Pathan tests positive for COVID-19|url=https://crickettimes.com/2021/03/after-sachin-tendulkar-yusuf-pathan-tests-positive-for-covid-19/|website=CricketTimes.com|language=en-US|access-date=2021-03-27}}</ref>

==Career==

Following his impressive performances in the 2007 [[Deodhar Trophy]] and the Inter-state domestic Twenty20 competition held in April 2007, Pathan was made a part of the Indian squad for the inaugural [[Twenty20 World Championship]], held in South Africa in September 2007. He made his Twenty20 international debut in the final against Pakistan. He opened the batting for India in the match, and scored 15 runs in the process.<ref>{{cite news

| title = Lalchand Rajput appointed manager for Twenty20 World Cup
}}</ref>

Following his good showing in the IPL, he was selected for the [[India national cricket team|Indian one-day team]]. After IPL, though he played all the games in the Kitply Cup and Asia Cup, he got to bat only four times and could not perform well with both bat and ball. He was later dropped from the series against Sri Lanka. He performed well in domestic circuit and impressed the selectors and was selected for the England ODI series in November. He scored a fifty off just 29 balls in the second ODI against England in [[Indore]], on his 26th birthday.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/ipl/content/story/352924.html| title = Yusuf and Ojha get maiden call-ups|publisher= [[Cricinfo]]}}</ref>

Yusuf had made his [[One Day International]] debut for India against Pakistan in [[Dhaka]] on 10 June 2008. He became a regular feature of the national One Day International team, but is yet to make his test debut.<ref>{{cite web| url =http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/ipl/engine/match/345469.html| title = Kitply Cup, 2nd Match:India v Pakistan at Dhaka, 10 June 2008. Yusuf scored his maiden international fifty against England on 17th November at Indore.|publisher= [[Cricinfo]]}}</ref>

Even though Pathan could not repeat his first IPL performance in the second season, he was selected in the Indian team to play the [[2009 ICC World Twenty20]] championships in England. In the second of India's Super 8 matches, he made an unbeaten 33 from 17 balls against England. Despite his knock, the team lost the game and crashed out of the tournament without making it to the semi-finals. His rare international debut came in the final of the ICC World Twenty20 in 2007.

In late 2009, Pathan was dropped from the limited overs team after a series of unproductive performances.

In the final of the 2010 [[Duleep Trophy]] cricket tournament, Pathan scored a hundred in the first innings and a double hundred in the second and led his team [[West Zone cricket team|West Zone]] to a three wicket win over [[South Zone cricket team|South Zone]]. Pathan made 108 in the first innings and an unbeaten 210 from 190 balls in the second innings to help his team chase down a mammoth target of 536. This became a world record for the highest successful run chase in first-class cricket history.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/447198.html |title=Yusuf Pathan basks in 'innings of my career' | Cricket News | Global | ESPN Cricinfo |publisher=Cricinfo.com |access-date=9 January 2011}}</ref>

On 7 December 2010, Pathan's power hitting sealed a memorable 5-wicket win for India. Pathan clobbered the [[New Zealand national cricket team|New Zealand]] attack with his aggressive innings, smashing an unbeaten 123 from 96 balls and shared an unbroken 133-run partnership with [[Saurabh Tiwary]] to guide India to a huge target of 316 with seven balls to spare and give the hosts a 4–0 lead in the series. He was named man of the match for this effort. The all-rounder clubbed seven fours and seven sixes on the way to his maiden one-day century to help the hosts overhaul New Zealand's challenging 315–7 with seven balls to spare at the [[M. Chinnaswamy Stadium]] in [[Bangalore]].

At the awards distribution ceremony he stated that "this knock will boost my career". Indian captain [[Gautam Gambhir]] said "I have always said Pathan can finish games on his own, and that's what he did today, I had never seen something like this before. But I knew till the time Pathan was there, we would win the game."<ref>{{cite news

New Zealand skipper [[Daniel Vettori]] said "It was a great game of cricket, we were in the game, but Pathan was pretty amazing and took the game away from us."

In the MTN ODI series against [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]], before the 2011 World Cup, he gave a stand-out performance in a match in [[Pretoria]] where he scored a brilliant 105 in 70 deliveries (comprising 8 fours and 8 sixes). Even though India lost the match, his performance was complimented heavily.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.espncricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2011/content/story/495981.html | title = A great feeling for the Pathan family |publisher= [[Cricinfo]]}}</ref> During this knock, he reached his century off 68 balls which is the sixth-fastest by an Indian and the second-fastest by an Indian outside the subcontinent. Thanks to his stream of good performances, he made it to the Indian team for 2011 World Cup,<ref>{{cite news| url = http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/cricket-world-cup-2011/profiles/india-profiles/Fear-is-Pathans-primary-weapon/articleshow/7456257.cms | title = Fear is Pathan's primary weapon |publisher= [[Times of India]]}}</ref> and also scored 100 for just 37 balls vs [[Mumbai Indians]] in IPL 2010.
Though Yusuf did not have a great World Cup, he ended up having the winner's medal and the honor of holding the World Cup aloft.

He was named in the Indian team for [[2012 Asia Cup]] to be held in [[Bangladesh]].<ref>{{cite news| url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/series-tournaments/asia-cup-2012/top-stories/Sehwag-Zaheer-rested-Sachin-Tendulkar-in-Asia-Cup-squad/articleshow/12082099.cms | work=The Times Of India | title=Sehwag, Zaheer rested, Sachin Tendulkar in Asia Cup squad – The Times of India}}</ref>
He featured in the triangular series in Nairobi-Kenya and played for Baroda's team against Gujarat and Kenya international.

==Indian Premier League==
After a good domestic season in 2007/08, he was signed by the [[Rajasthan Royals]] in the [[Indian Premier League]] for US$265,000 (INR 1.9 crore). In the [[2008 Indian Premier League|2008 IPL season]], he scored 435 runs and took 8 wickets. He recorded the season's fastest [[Century (cricket)|half-century]] (from 21 balls) against the [[Deccan Chargers]], and was also the Man of the Match in the final against the [[Chennai Super Kings]]. In May 2021, ''[[ESPNcricinfo]]'' ranked Pathan's match figures of three wickets for 22 runs, and his 56 runs from 39 balls as the greatest IPL performance in the history of the tournament.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/the-greatest-ipl-performances-no-1-yusuf-pathan-3-for-22-and-56-off-39-vs-the-chennai-super-kings-1259917 |title=The greatest IPL performances, No. 1: Yusuf Pathan's 3 for 22 and 56 off 39 vs the Chennai Super Kings |work=ESPN Cricinfo |access-date=13 May 2021}}</ref>

Yusuf Pathan was named as the vice-captain of [[Rajasthan Royals]] during IPL 3. On 13 March 2010, Pathan scored a century off 37 balls, in an [[2010 Indian Premier League|Indian Premier League]] match against [[Mumbai Indians]]. The innings also included 11 consecutive hits to the boundary (6, 6, 6, 6, 4, 4, 6, 4, 4, 4, 4).

After that knock where he scored the fastest IPL century, his Rajasthan Royals skipper [[Shane Warne]] described his innings as one of the best innings he has even seen in his career and also compared Yusuf Pathan with his country-mate [[Andrew Symonds]] as two of the cleanest hitters of the ball.

In the 2011 IPL auction, he was bought for $2.1 million by [[Kolkata Knight Riders]] and was retained by the Kolkata Knight Riders for Rs 3.25 crores via the 'Right to Match' option in the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction 2014.<ref>http://www.cricketcountry.com/news/ipl-7-auction-yusuf-pathan-retained-by-kolkata-knight-riders-for-rs-3-25-crore-96537</ref>

On 15 May 2013, Yusuf Pathan became the first batsman to be given out for obstructing the field in Twenty20 cricket while playing for the [[Kolkata Knight Riders]] in the [[Indian Premier League|IPL]] 2013 against [[Pune Warriors India]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.wisdenindia.com/cricket-article/hutton-yusuf-obstructing-field/62494|title=Hutton, Yusuf and obstructing the field|date=16 May 2013|publisher=Wisden India}}</ref>
