Have Been Working Hard On My Batting – Yuvraj Singh

Courtesy of a stellar performance from the evergreen and enchanting Yuvraj Singh, the Sunrisers Hyderabad completed an absolute mauling of the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the season opener at Hyderabad. After being put in to bat on a fine batting surface, the Royal Challengers were in for some trouble when Shikhar Dhawan got off to a flying start.

Once Dhawan was dismissed, Yuvraj took over from the word go and put forward a display of attractive strokeplay. Some of his pulls against the pacers rolled back the years to his prime. Thanks to his knock of 62 off just 27 deliveries, the Sunrisers crossed the 200 run mark.

Bangalore seemed up and running with Kedar Jadhav looking well set. Once he was dismissed though, the chase derailed completely and eventually, the visitors fell short by 35 runs. After being named the Man of the Match, Yuvraj mentioned that he was working out on his batting quite a bit.

 

“When you make a comeback and play well, you get the confidence and frees the mind,” said Yuvraj. “Just watching the ball and play accordingly. I’ve been working a lot more on my batting. I’ve been working on the short ball and the slower ball and have been trying to hit in the V. I was lucky today, got dropped. But I’ve been playing the short ball well. As you get older, you’ve got to train harder,” he said.

Sunrisers skipper David Warner was ecstatic after the win and he lauded his side. “It was fantastic. The guys backed themselves. We knew it was going to be a good wicket. We tried to be positive in the first six. I think the stats went into my head. That’s the way the game goes. You’re always mindful with a power-packed batting line-up like that. Yuvi was superb. Whatever he’s been doing in the season he’s had has been fantastic. Dhawan’s been working hard,” said Warner.
