Post run riot, Yuvi front-runner for Dada’s Test spot
After blowing England away with his hurricane hitting despite a bad back, Yuvraj Singh has bounced back strongly into contention as the man most likely to take over the spot left vacant by the retirement of Sourav Ganguly in the Indian Test middle-order.Yuvraj came into the first of seven ODIs in Rajkot with his confidence a bit low, as he admitted at the post-match media conference, following his lean stretch in domestic cricket.
“I was a bit nervous as I had not scored many runs over the last few weeks. But the blazing start provided by Viru and Gambhir allowed me to play quietly in the beginning. The fact that Suresh Raina was playing shots at the other end also eased the pressure on me.”
“It gave me time to settle down and in getting to know what the wicket was about,” he said.
