Yuvraj justified this decision of BCCI
Yuvi wants to become the mentor of Team India
New Delhi. Former Indian cricket team all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has supported the return of Virat Kohli and captain Rohit Sharma to the T20 team. Yuvraj does not think there is anything wrong in this. Yuvi said that ‘people will say something, it is people’s job to say.’ Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have recently returned to the T20 team after 14 months. Both the players are currently playing a 3-match T20 series against Afghanistan at home. In the first T20 played in Mohali, Virat had decided to stay out citing personal reasons, while Rohit returned to the pavilion after getting out on a personal score of zero.
Keeping in mind the upcoming T20 World Cup, BCCI has included Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the T20 team. T20 World Cup 2024 will be organized in West Indies and USA in June. Some World Cup matches will be played in West Indies while some will be held in America. Team India’s last T20 series against Afghanistan before the T20 World Cup. After this, the Indian team will not play any bilateral T20 series before the T20 World Cup. The return of Virat and Rohit to the T20 team has started the debate that this is not a progressive step from the board.
Will Yuvraj Singh return to Team India? Wants to play this role, said- I want to play cricket…
Where Suryakumar had scored a century 30 days ago…there this batsman scored a century faster than SKY, the bowler was seen hiding his face
Yuvraj Singh, who reached an event in Kolkata on Saturday, sang praises of Rohit and Virat. It seems that Yuvi is not affected by the outside noise. Expressing his opinion from Kishore Kumar’s famous song, he said, ‘Kuch to log kahenge, log ka kaam hai kehna.’ This is because they play all three formats and they are making a comeback after 14 months. If you play in all three formats, you will have to take care of your workload. This is a question for the selectors.
‘Rohit Sharma is a great captain’
Yuvraj Singh praised Rohit Sharma’s captaincy a lot. 42-year-old Yuvraj said that Rohit has won 5 trophies in the IPL under his captaincy. Under his captaincy, the Indian team was successful in reaching the final of the ODI World Cup last month. According to Yuvraj, ‘He is a great captain. He has won 5 IPL titles. He has taken us on a journey till the final of the ODI World Cup. He is one of the best captains for both IPL and Team India.
‘Could have played more than 40 tests’
Former left-handed batsman Yuvraj Singh still feels that he could have played more than 40 Test matches. He said, ‘My only regret is that I could have played more Tests. I played 40 Tests and was 12th man for 45 Tests. That was the era in which Virender Sehwag had to open the innings. Dada (Sourav Ganguly) was the captain, then VVS Laxman, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar used to play. It was difficult to make a place in the team. But as a ‘team man’ I always gave my 100 percent, it is more important for me.
Yuvi created a stir in bowling and batting in the ODI World Cup.
Yuvraj was a part of the world champion team twice. In 2007, when Team India won the T20 World Cup trophy under the captaincy of MS Dhoni, Yuvi was a part of that team. Yuvi then hit 6 consecutive sixes in one over of fast bowler Stuart Broad against England. Yuvi was included in the 2011 ODI World Champion Team India. Then Yuvi was chosen Player of the Tournament. He created a stir throughout the tournament with his batting and bowling.
