SRK's batting ability is about the same or higher than Yusuf Pathan

yusuf was miles better SRK, srk is just new flavour of season which will fade away once he plays high quality fast bowlers. Yusuf just stopped improving n progressing or else ability wasnt the issue .

After pandya the guy who has clean hitting ability in India is Abdul samad (he is the real deal) and i like this kid suyyash prabhudesai (but still need to see him against better bowlers)

He is not as good as Yusuf Pathan

A player like Yusuf Pathan would be an automatic selection in every loi team in the world these days. 

 

Yusuf Pathan just played in the wrong era. 

yusuf didnt improve beyond a point, even spinners worked him out. Once ppl find ur strong areas in international they wont feed u their so its upto the player to evolve which he didnt 

Yusuf was competing with Raina and jadeja 

Dhoni trusted those 2 like anything , on field they use to save him a lot of runs ofcourse and they also evolved (jadeja quite slowly and painfully but yea he did )

Yusuf also started dropping a lot of catches, i remember in IPL it became a joke that he ll drop 1-2 catches every game

from what I've seen, SRK's batting ability is about the same or higher than Yusuf Pathan, who played some key innings for Ind in both ODIs and T20s. however, it would have been better for SRK to be given chances at A team level, and then graduate to senior team

 

Yusuf smashed Steyn,Morkel in SA.

 

Which pacer has SRK smashed?

he hasn't played much "A" level cricket or even many IPL matches (consistently). So, the only bowlers he's smashed so far are in indian domestics.
