Like in life, in sports too there are people who remain an enigma. At least to those who watch them from the outside. They fascinate and frustrate in equal measures. At times, one feels they are surviving on their reputation and not its execution. But these enigmatic geniuses often find someone who understands their worth, who believes in them as much as they believe in themselves. Yusuf Pathan is an enigma. Everyone knows of his supreme leather-pounding power and they love him for that. But to their dismay they don’t see that skill being converted into runs. But those close to him and his team mates see what others can’t. His Kolkata Knight Riders skipper, Gautam Gambhir, surely does.  Questions have been raised about Pathan’s place in the KKR Playing XI since the beginning of the 2012 IPL.

As the longest serving and illustrious cricketer of modern times — 199 Tests in 24 years of Test cricket — Sachin Tendulkar has had the pleasure of having more teammates than any of his contemporaries such as Ricky Ponting, Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis and Brian Lara. (Also Read:  Sachin Tendulkar's 200 facts ) Tendulkar made his debut at the age of 16 against Pakistan and hence held a six-year lead over the Australian Ponting and South African Kallis and almost a seven-year lead against fellow Indian middle order batsman Dravid. He began his international career one year before Lara. Set to play his 200th and farewell Test at the Wankhede Stadium from Thursday, Tendulkar added two more teammates in Mumbai’s Rohit Sharma and Bengal’s Mohammad Shami who were capped against the West Indies last week at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
