Yuvraj Singh Gifts Darren Bravo His Special Bat

Yuvraj Singh is going through one of the toughest phases of his illustrious career. After being recalled into the ODI side following a gap of almost three years, the southpaw turned back the clock with a stunning knock of 150 against England earlier this year. He followed it by another superlative knock in the Champions Trophy opener, scoring a quickfire fifty to guide India to a huge score against Pakistan.

However, since that knock against Pakistan, the veteran batsman has struggled to get going with the bat as his sequence of scores in the tournament was 7 (vs Sri Lanka), 23 not out (vs South Africa), 22 (vs Pakistan in CT final). A changed environment and less pressure in West Indies provided Yuvraj a good opportunity to get back to his best but the southpaw has squandered it so far. He scored only 57 runs in the three ODIs before missing the fourth match of the ongoing five-match series due to a hamstring injury.

But his mood, nevertheless, is looking upbeat as he recently gifted a bat to West Indies’ out of action batsman Darren Bravo.

Time running out for Yuvraj:

There is absolutely no debate on the class and experience of Yuvraj but at 35-plus, he does not have time on his side. With youngsters like Manish Pandey and Rishabh Pandey desperately waiting for the chance to prove themselves, Yuvraj needs to come up with better performances sooner than later to make his spot in the playing eleven a certainty.

India stunned in fourth ODI:

Meanwhile, India were stunned by 11 runs in the fourth ODI at Antigua on Sunday (July 2). Batting first, the hosts had posted 189 for 9 in the allotted overs but the Men in Blue were all out for 178.  India is leading the five-series 2-1 and will look to win the final match to seal the series.
