Kiran More: There's still a lot of cricket left in Yuvraj Singh

Yuvraj Singh

According to Times of India, big hitter Yuvraj Singh, known for his 6 sixes against England and his outstanding performances in 2011 Cricket World Cup has been struggling recently to make a place in the Indian squad. After making a comeback, he was given various chances like home series against Australia and tour of South Africa, but Yuvraj failed to perform and he has been left out of the national squad ever since.

Former Indian wicket-keeper Kiran More has come in support of the southpaw, stating that he expects Yuvraj to make a strong comeback into the Indian team.

“From the day he started playing for India, he has been a match-winner and I am sure it will continue to be that way till he plays competitive cricket. He’s gone through a lot in recent times, but there’s still a lot of cricket left in him,” says former selector More.

The World T20 in Bangladesh will be his first ICC event after the World Cup 2011.

Considering the recent defeats India has faced, addition of experienced players like Yuvraj Singh can help the team to get back to its winning spree.

Another former Indian cricketer Praveen Amre too came in support of the 32-year-old.

“If we analyse a good T20 side, we will notice that you have either a couple of destructive batsmen at the top or there are finishers in the last five overs. If you see Mumbai Indian’s strategy, they hold back Kieron Pollard for the last five overs while Bangalore sends Chris Gayle as an opener.

But there are very few destructive batsmen in the middle overs and that is where Yuvraj comes out as the No. 1 choice. He goes out to bat at No. 4 after the Power Play in the middle overs and has such vast range of shots that it doesn’t matter where the fielders are, he’ll clear the boundaries any way. That is what makes him special,” says coach Amre.
