Shane Warne compares Yusuf Pathan with Symonds
The biggest compliment for all-rounder Yusuf Pathan came from his Rajasthan Royals skipper Shane Warne when he compared the hard-hitting Indian to Aussie all-rounder Andrew Symonds for his on-field exploit.
“Yusuf Pathan was a dynamite last year, he just destroys medium-pace and spin bowling. He and Andrew Symonds are two of the cleanest hitters I’ve ever seen,” Warne told Sunday Times while introducing his teammates.
Warne, who was all praise for rookie Indian fast bowler Kamran Khan, who bowled just one over against Cape Cobras accounting for Justin Ontong’s wicket with a vicious yorker in a warm-up on Saturday, alongside India player Ravindra Jadeja, said the team was on the verge of finalising a nickname for Khan, a woodcutter’s son from Azamgarh in North India.
“We’ve got one young player who’s going to be very interesting,” said Warne.
