Yuvraj Singh on Wednesday defended the poor show of the Indian bowlers in the Asia Cup, citing new field restrictions as one of the reasons, but hoped for a triumphant return to form in the upcoming ICC World T20 in Bangladesh. ‘Our bowlers have had a problem of restricting the opposition since five fielders inside the circle rule has come, but T20 will be a different format and I am hopeful that they will do well.’
The all-rounder is working hard on his left-arm slow bowling and expects to contribute with the ball too. ‘I have been working hard on my bowling and would like to deliver during the World Cup’.
Yuvraj, who is a part of the Indian squad for the World T20, hoped that India’s power-packed batting line-up will do well at the mega event. ‘We have players who can really do well in the last five to 10 overs. Myself, Mahi (MS Dhoni) Raina, Rohit and Virat are all capable of winning matches. We have a powerhouse of a line-up,’ Yuvraj told Star Sports during an interaction.
Yuvraj undergoes random dope test
Meanwhile, Yuvraj was among three cricketers who underwent random dope tests at the sidelines of the Vijay Hazare Trophy at Eden Gardens on Wednesday. Yuvraj gave his urine sample as part of a routine procedure. Yuvraj gave his sample more than one hour after the match as most of the members of both the teams had left by then. Before Yuvraj, Railways skipper Mahesh Rawat, who scored a century, gave his sample along with pacer Anureet Singh. The samples will be sent to NADA.
