YUVRAJ SINGH is not just a cricketer but a phenomenon to watch on the field. His classic shots and ability to turn the ball has earned him a name among the leading international players and his game has become a real treat to be enjoyed and admired by millions of sports lovers across the globe.
Of late, Yuvraj has shown a lot of discipline and his hard work and commitment can now be well judged by the temperament he exhibits while putting his passion in the game. His inning after inning in the World Cup edition of 2011 has really earned him the title of ‘Kohinoor’ of Indian cricket.
There was lot of speculation about Yuvraj Singh’s attitude and his form in the game before the selection of squad for the World Cup was made. But fortunes favour the brave and the panel of selectors finally agreed on his name considering his experience in the international cricket and his ability as an all-rounder made his place secure. Even the captain cool Mahendra Singh Dhoni had said Yuvraj potential as a batsman and as a spinner in the side would definitely help India and as we all know he has been a terrific fielder whose catches and fielding add further to the chances of winning as saving some 20 odd runs can make a lot of difference in the game.
Everyone knows when Sachin, Gambhir and Dhoni got out in the crucial match against Australia in quarter finals, there was silence in the stadium and all were thinking what next? All eyes were there on Yuvraj Singh and he along with Suresh Raina played with cool nerves and Yuvraj played one of the most crucial innings of his lifetime that helped India beat Australia by 5 wickets. With this we took the revenge for 2003 World Cup defeat and also ended the era of Aussies dominance in the game for more than 12 years.
Yuvraj has been consistent with the bat and ball and that’s a good positive sign for team India. He is a batsman whom we can rely on and in tough situation, his experience helps the team to reach targets. Yuvraj has already said he has been playing this World Cup for someone special whom he wanted to gift the cup. All have been guessing the name, might be Sachin Tendulkar, who is playing his last World Cup, and unlike all his team mates, Yuvraj too wants to get this Cup not only for the nation but for him too, the man who has been a guiding force to millions and his team for over 21 years.
Yuvraj’s honeymoon with the bat and ball is going great at the moment and with two more steps to conquer the World Cup 2011, he must be planning his strategy to counter bowling attack from the arch rival Pakistan on March 30 at Mohali where Pakistan Prime Minister is also expected to arrive to see the game along with Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh.
He has made one thing clear as a crystal to all his opponents that till he is there at the crease, he would not let India lose a game. He provides much needed stability to the Indian middle order and has really worked hard on his game. After the departure of Rahul Dravid from the team India one day squad, Yuvraj has emerged as the new “wall” of Indian cricket.
