< 1 minute read Superb power hitting in the final overs of the innings from Yuvraj Singh ???? #INDvPAK #CT17 pic.twitter.com/qtk6tW23Am — ICC (@ICC) June 4, 2017 It’s nice to see that Yuvraj Singh’s nuts-at-the-end-going capabilities are largely undiminished because going nuts at the end has always been very much his thing. For their

Yuvraj Singh never quite does it
< 1 minute read A few years ago, it was hard to avoid the feeling that Yuvraj Singh’s favourite cricketer was probably, on balance, after much careful consideration, Yuvraj Singh. However, he’s increasingly rounded and likeable and so it’s disappointing to see him merely flicker in Test cricket. Today’s innings was vintage Yuvraj. He

< 1 minute read Much has been made of the fact that MS Dhoni wants seven batsmen and four bowlers in his Twenty20 side, even though you have to use at least five bowlers. ‘Sacrilege’, people cry. Not really. Batsman number seven might not contribute much, but the value of a specialist bowler isn’t

< 1 minute read As in ‘returned’. He hasn’t got ankylosing spondylitis or anything. But he did have cancer. His return is great news. We can’t imagine how it must feel to have gone from being told you have cancer to then being clear and regaining your place in the India team. It’s only

< 1 minute read There’s a good interview with Yuvraj Singh at Cricinfo. He’s always struck us as a man who thinks life is largely about wearing sunglasses, but that’s not the way he comes across here. He talks quite thoughtfully about the challenges for young players and how he can offer them advice,

< 1 minute read Yuvraj Singh is so cool, his coolness can’t be accommodated by one set of trendy, opaque eyewear. His coolness is so dazzling that we need four sets of sunglasses ourself to even look at him.

< 1 minute read This was England’s 500th one-day international. It was Yuvraj Singh’s 219th. Yuvraj is 26. Once again Yuvraj hit a hundred. This time, he also took four wickets. We’re not sure it would make a huge amount of difference, but we’re inclined to agree with everyone else in the entire world

2 minute read Has any batsman every played a more destructive innings while wearing a girdle? We’ve always liked Yuvraj Singh, but he’s lost a little bit of lustre lately. This is largely thanks to Sky Sports’ ‘look at all the cricket we’ve got’ advert which starts with a big orchestral crescendo, before

2 minute read We’ve had a computer that hated the internet FOR ALL IT WAS WORTH for the last two days, so we’re a bit behind. We’re going to try and catch up, so brace yourselves for some three sentence updates that completely miss the point of what’s been going on. Yuvraj Singh

2 minute read India have named their squad for the four Test tour of Australia. It’s not totally straightforward. We’ll talk about the bowlers separately, but batting-wise the big news is the return of Virender Sehwag. We’ve read that India can’t pick Sehwag in the squad and not play him, which is technically
