He does.
It’s easy to skip over his cameo yesterday.
Yuvraj’s demonic turns have grabbed all the inch space, and quite rightly.
But Yusuf was something special.
And it’s a big occasion, his first international half century.
But it was the way he did.
50 off 29, when even Yuvraj was having trouble scoring a better than a run a ball.
The thing about Yusuf is how clean he strikes the ball.
A lot of guys can hit at the top of the innings with the new hard ball, and others can muscle the old ball around.
Yusuf hits so clean that the ball is not important, if Harmy was bowling pineapples he would have cleared the fence with them.
Add in his little off spinners which are handy, and that well shaped head (not quite Darren Sammy, but it's up there).
That is why he is special, there is no doubt he will fail from time to time, but India won that game because he took a good total, and made it untouchable.
Good closers are important, but Yusuf can actually bat as well, and after seeing the IPL we know he can go up the order if required.
India just need to give him time in the side and make sure Dhoni has confidence in him and they may have a weapon on their hands.
We know he has a well shaped head on his shoulders.
