Yuvraj Singh, India - Player profile

Yuvraj Singh is a bloody good batsman. He’s one of a few players who we’ve sort of adopted. Not in any paternal way, we just take a special interest.

Over the last year or so, Yuvraj has made the transition from a decent one-day batsman to a phenomenally successful one. He makes runs. He makes them slogging the ball around and he makes them manoeuvring the ball around for singles.

We once described him as being kind of a cross between a slightly off-colour Michael Bevan and a slightly off-colour Shahid Afridi. That’s higher praise than it sounds, but we’re not going to explain why this time. You’ll just have to take our word for it.
