Yuvraj Singh’s father and Indian Former Cricket player reacted in a positive tone after his son was recalled to the Indian team for the upcoming T20 matches against Australia starting from January 26. He stated that the batsman was a ‘great player’ and should never be ignored by few bad innings.
He said, ”He has always been a very special player for India. I am not saying this because he is my son but because I have coached him. I always knew he was going to make a comeback because of the way things were going.” He also indicated that Yuvraj’s recent engagement to be married in February next year also had a part to play in his resurgence, but confused more than he explained with his appraisal of Hazel Keech.
“I think the best thing that has happened to him is that both Yuvraj and Hazel are on the same level as far as fitness is concerned,” he said.
Haha its the overwhelming amount of love and support from every1 that has brought @YUVSTRONG12 back! With his hard.. https://t.co/Rh92lEAdlQ

Yograj also said he was disappointed and hurt when Yuvraj Singh was dropped from the team. He quoted “His comeback was always on the cards. When he was dropped I was very much hurt because such great players cannot be dropped just after few bad innings. You got to push them up. A player must be pushed ahead when they are going down and I wish him (Yuvraj) all the best and I hope he wins lots of matches for India.” Also, Yograj blamed Captain MS Dhoni many times in support of his son which went controversial many a times!
“I’ve always said, Yuvi has been a special player for Indian team” said Yuvraj’s father on his selection in T20 squad to ANI. Hope Yuvi comeback helps him and boosts his performance which could pave another world cup victory.
