Yuvraj Singh has to say something

Live Cricket Online


Yuvraj Singh - The player who was criticized majorly for his inconsistency in cricket now proudly stands as the player of the tournament in the recently concluded ICC World Cup 2011. He also captained the Pune Warriors in IPL 2011 was wasn't successful in making it to the knock out stages.


He was happy about the success of Chennai Super Kings when they retained the title beating Royal Challengers Bangalore in the finals of IPL. Yuvraj was pretty confident about CSK's chances this time as he added saying that CSK is led by a man called MS Dhoni who doesn't like to lose finals. He also loved the fact that CSK retained most of their players in this year's IPL auction and this helps in long term goal settings.


About the upcoming India Vs West Indies 2011 series, he was sad as he had to opt out. After going through some scans, doctors advised him to rest as the reports suggested a lung infection. He added saying that this was the first opportunity for the team members to play as World Champions. So he is obviously sad to miss the tour.


The way Yuvraj Singh performed in the World Cup, was certainly the biggest factor in India's triumph. So his services are surely going to be missed by the Indian squad for West Indies tour. Hopefully he joins back the team for the England tour later this July.

Yuvraj Singh: It’s the best birthday I’ve ever had

After leading India to a thrilling win over Sri Lanka in the second and final T20 International with an all-round performance, Yuvraj Singh, who turned 28 today, said that it was his "best birthday" so far.

"This is my best birthday till now. I am very happy the way we played, especially the batsmen," Yuvraj said after scoring a blistering 60 of 25 balls and taking three crucial wickets

The flamboyant southpaw believed that after being set an imposing target of 207, Indian openers Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir had given a good start to the team.

Yuvraj has not had many special performances on his home ground to cherish. Expressing satisfaction over his stellar knock, he said, "now, I am happy to turn it around today. But frankly I was not expecting to score 60 of 25 balls".

The birthday boy said after the victory his teammates celebrated in the dressing room by smearing the cake all over his face.

"There was lot of cake on my face. M S (Dhoni) held my hands and the rest of the players kept applying it all over my face and I could not see who all were the culprits. But I will take revenge once I come to know their names," quipped Yuvraj.
