Yusuf third player to break million barrier

India's all-rounder Yusuf Pathan was sold to Kolkata Knight Riders for a whopping $2.1 million.

This was the second biggest buy by Kolkata after they snapped up Gambhir for $2.4million.

Yusuf, who started with a base price of $300,000, triggered off an instant bidding war with all the franchises going all out to sign up the all-rounder.

Yusuf emerged as one of the best players in the last three editions of the IPL and holds the record of having scored the fastest century in the tournament off just 37 balls.
