At the age of 35, one of the biggest match winner, India has ever produced, Yuvraj Singh feeling the heat, in order to keep his place safe in the playing eleven. though, he has played some memorable knocks since his comeback to international cricket, the reality is that his form is patchy.
After a half-century against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy opener, Yuvraj’s sequence of scores has been 7 against Sri Lanka, 23 not out against South Africa, 22 against Pakistan and 4 against West Indies in the first ODI.
More worryingly, his fielding has also gone from bad to worse and skipper Kohli has not felt the need to summon him to bowl his left-arm spinners.
An explosive left-hander like Rishabh Pant, the most exciting batting prospect among the Gen-Next is waiting in the wings, eagerly for his chance. The veteran can’t take his place for granted in the side.
Former India captain and current India U-19 coach Rahul Dravid had recently said that team management should have a clear cut policy whether they want Yuvraj going into the 2019 World Cup.
