1983-2011 Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 while also playing in the both finals. Explosive batsman Yusuf Pathan, pacer Laxmipathy Balaji and wicketkeeper/batsman Manvinder Singh Bisla joined an elite club of players who have been a part of two teams that have won the IPL title, after Kolkata Knight Riders outplayed Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. Pathan was part of the Rajasthan Royals squad which won the inaugural IPL in 2008, while Balaji was part of the Chennai Super Kings in 2010. Whereas Bisla, who played the match-winning knock of 89 off 48 balls, was a part of the Deccan Chargers, who won the title in 2009. Yusuf attributed Knight Riders' success in IPL 5 to Gautam Gambhir's captaincy and compared it with the leadership skills of Shane Warne, his captain at Rajasthan Royals. "The way Gautam has captained in the last two years, it is comparable to Shane Warne (at Rajasthan). He has supported the players a lot. We have played as a team. We have enjoyed each others' success," said Pathan after Knight Riders beat Super Kings by five wickets here at Chepauk. Pathan had hit a crucial 40 against Delhi Daredevils in the first play-off in Pune. "I got to play the role in the semi-final, today Bisla (Manvinder) and Kallis (Jacques Kallis) did it. The way Bisla was in and out of the team, he did very well to score those runs," said Pathan referring to Bisla's match-winning knock of 89 and Kallis' 69. Apart from these three, Scott Styris is also part of the club - he was part of the Deccan team in 2009 while in 2011 he played for Chennai. how many IPL has Sachin won:winky:

Ultimate_Game Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Yusuf is definitely a very lucky player for the team he plays in. His 1st intl match for India resulted in us winning the T20 Cup against Pakis and he was also part of the WC winning team/squad. For a non-regular player who has struggled to cement his place in the team he has practically won most of the major trophies.
RedFever Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Balaji has done it. Stop over analysing. The difference is balaji was not in the playing XI in both the finals.
velu Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 The difference is balaji was not in the playing XI in both the finals. so balaji is the first player ever to win two IPLs without being in the playing xi :hysterical::hysterical:
