2. Yusuf Pathan
Long before Amit Mishra, Yusuf Pathan became the first-ever batsman in IPL to be dismissed obstructing the field. While playing for KKR in IPL 2013 Pathan was putting an exhibition of power-hitting against Pune Warriors. In the 18th over Yusuf managed to dig out a yorker from Wayne Parnell and tried sneaking a quick run.
While Yusuf was heading towards the danger end it resembled that he had kicked the ball with his foot so that the ball gets away from Parnell who was trying to run him out. The Pune Warrior team appealed to the on-field umpire about Yusuf obstructing the field and the decision was sent upstairs.
Eventually, on-field umpires Nigel Llong and K Srinath concluded that Yusuf had intentionally kicked the ball to save his wicket and he was given out as obstructing the field which was the first instance in IPL history.
