In an interview with DNA, Yuvraj singh admitted that he is no more one of the young and junior members of the team. He told that he has to set an example for the Junior members to play well for the country.

Like Mahendra Singh Dhoni has improved with the team we sure hope that the likes of Raina, Munaf, Sreesanth and co. do their job and take Indian cricket to another level. Yuvraj said that it was the responsibility of the senior players to take on the pressure from the opposition. He also said that Greg Chappel has helped him a great deal with his batting and also with the overall fitness of the Indian Team.

The Kingston match was disappointing for Yuvraj, he batted wonderfully well but to a lost cause. He was bowled in the last over when India needed only 2 runs to run the match.

He played fantastic cricketing shots in his entire knock, no slogging just good cricket. Yuvraj’s mother Shabnam Singh was awake till 4am to watch his son play, but only to watch him get out in the end and see India loose.

“That’s when I felt miserable. Seeing one’s baby like that leaves you feeling terrible,” says Yuvraj’s mother. She spoke to him later that night and Yuvraj admitted that he couldn’t sleep and was dejected at himself.

The new Mr.Consistent as you can call him now is ruled out of the 3rd One day international against the West Indies. With the series poised interestingly at 1-1 India will surely miss him.

Yuvraj almost got India all the way in the second ODI with his brilliant 93 but got out in the last over. Talking to PTI he said that the injury was not serious at all and he will be back in action soon.

Yuvraj is due to be replaced by the Venugopal Rao who is trying to cement his place in this young Indian line-up.

Tendulkar has been out of the game since March 26th with his shoulder injury. His absence is being felt by his teammates. After wishing Sachin Happy birthday he admitted that he was missing the presence of the Batting Maestro in the dressing room.

When Yuvraj first broke into the national side in the ICC Champions trophy he said that he was scared to even go and talk to Tendulkar, but

Sachin approached him and made him feel very comfortable. “Our friendship has grown a lot since then, but i have a lot of respect for him” , said Yuvraj Singh
He said that Sachin was only 33 and he still had a good 3-4 years of cricket in him.

After helping India to a 4-1 series victory against Pakistan, Yuvraj Singh will miss the 1st Test match against England in the next month. Yuvraj scored a brillaint 107 to help india win the last match. He was the judicated the man of the series in Pakistan scoring 345 runs at a super average of over 170.

Yuvraj did damage to his hamstring in the final knock and will now be out for approximately 3-4 weeks, announced the BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah.
