Former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has supported Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who are facing criticism.
43 year old Yuvraj said- ‘We are talking about our great players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, we are saying very bad things about them. People forget what they have achieved in the past. He is one of the greatest cricketers of this time. Well, they lost, they didn’t play good cricket. They are more hurt than us.
The Indian team has suffered a 3-1 defeat against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after 10 years. In the 5-match series, Indian captain Rohit Sharma has scored 31 runs and Virat Kohli has scored 190 runs. Both are being criticized due to poor performance.
Clean sweep in the house is a bigger defeat than BGT’s defeat: Yuvraj Yuvraj Singh said- ‘The clean sweep (3-0) by New Zealand at home is a bigger failure for the Indian team than the defeat in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.’ He said- ‘I think losing to New Zealand is more painful. Because they lost 3-0 at home. You know, this is not acceptable. This (losing BGT) can still be accepted because you have won it twice in Australia and this time you had to face defeat. Yuvraj said- ‘I believe that Australia has been a very strong team for the last many years.’ Kohli scored a century against Australia, but he was consistently dismissed on balls going outside the off stump. On the other hand, Rohit Sharma could score only 31 runs in 5 innings and hence he decided not to play in the 5th and final Test match played in Sydney.
Highlights of Yuvraj Singh…
- Yuvraj said- ‘I have full confidence not only in Rohit and Kohli, but also in the new head coach Gautam Gambhir, who was also his former teammate. I think the Indian team has the best minds with good knowledge of cricket right now in Gambhir as coach, Agarkar as selector and Rohit, Kohli and Bumrah. They have to decide what is the right path for Indian cricket in the future.
- Yuvraj also praised Rohit’s decision to stay out of the Sydney Test. He said- ‘I think this is a big thing. I have never seen before that the captain’s form was not going well and he himself sat out. This is the greatness of Rohit Sharma that he put the team ahead of himself.
- Yuvi said- ‘I think he is a great captain. Win or lose, he will always be a great captain. Under his captaincy we have played the (ODI) World Cup final. We have won the T20 World Cup. We have achieved a lot. He urged critics to exercise restraint while analyzing the team’s performance.
Won World Cup in 2007 and 2011 Yuvraj Singh has been a part of the Indian team that won the T-20 in 2007 and the ODI World Cup in 2011. He has played 304 ODIs, 40 Tests and 58 T20 International matches for India.
