This all-rounder of Team India would prove to be a legend in Test format, but…. Why did Gautam Gambhir take the name of this player after years?
Gautam Gambhir said that Yuvraj’s Test record could have improved with time and his red-ball record could also have been better. Gautam Gambhir. (Image Source: GG Instagram) Former India batsman Gautam Gambhir had recently said that Yuvraj Singh should have played more Test matches in his career. The whole world knows that Yuvraj Singh is the uncrowned king of white ball cricket and a player like him has not been seen in Team India till now. Yuvraj Singh was the match-winning player of Team India, although he could not last long in the Test format. But now he could not convert his success into the Test format. Yuvraj Singh’s career Yuvraj Singh’s statistics are excellent. He has scored 8965 runs in 139 matches at an average of 44.16. However, his numbers declined when it came to red-ball cricket at the international level. He scored only 1900 runs at an average of 33.92 after 40 matches. Gambhir said that Yuvraj’s Test record could have improved with time and his red-ball record could also have been better. Let us know what he said- “When we talk about statistics or performance, you see what an amazing performance Yuvi has shown in the 2011 World Cup. He was the player of the tournament in the 2011 World Cup. Look at what Yuvi did in 2007 also. You pick up Yuvi’s performance, what he has done for India. You look at Yuvi’s innings against Australia, look at his innings against England. You see Yuvi’s impact in the 2007 T20 World, I have tried to tell the world again what Yuvi has achieved in his career. I just want to remind world cricket of these things.” “I consider Yuvi to be the best player in ODI and T-20. I have not seen a better player than him in white ball cricket. Yuvi’s performance not only in batting but also in bowling and fielding is astonishing. There is no other player like him in India. But unfortunately we talk less about Yuvi. Which is absolutely wrong. There are many reasons behind this but I do not want to tell them here.” “See, Yuvi has played very little Test cricket. If he had got a chance to play more Tests, his records would have been excellent. He could do well in tests also. I would definitely say that Yuvi has got less opportunity to play Test.”
IPL 2024: RCB has won all the matches of May 18, will the team be able to beat CSK at home? Know what the former Indian player said

It is very important for both the teams to win this match. Let us tell you, whichever team wins this match will secure its place in the playoffs of this season. According to Aakash Chopra, Royal Challengers Bangalore have won all the matches they have played on May 18. However, he also believes that this match may be canceled due to rain. Royal Challengers Bangalore have so far won 6 out of 13 matches in the Indian Premier League 2024 while they have lost 7. The team has 12 points and is ranked seventh in the points table of the Indian Premier League 2024. But if RCB wins the match against Chennai Super Kings by a long margin then they will qualify for the playoffs this season. Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘It all started from here and it has ended again there. On one side is Chennai and in front of them is RCB. The last match was played on 23 March in which Chennai won and now the match between the two teams will be played on 18 May. RCB has won all its matches on May 18. Virat Kohli has scored runs in all the matches played on May 18 and this includes two centuries and one half-century. His jersey number is also 18. This will be a very fun match. However, there is also a possibility of rain. The longer the match, the higher will be RCB’s chances of qualifying. The shorter the match, the more difficult it will be for them to qualify. Here’s the video: Aakash Chopra further said, ‘Today is 18th May and Virat Kohli has a special relationship with this date. He has scored runs in all the matches he has played on May 18. All eyes will be on Virat Kohli in this match. Will Jacques is not there and Glenn Maxwell will have to perform well in his place. His role will be very big in this match. He is such a player who can hit sixes continuously and change the course of the match. He won the match for Australia in one leg. His performance so far in IPL 2024 has been very poor but he would definitely like to leave his mark in the upcoming match. The third player I will focus on is Cameron Green. If the match is of 10 overs then he will be required to bowl one or two overs. Green can also hit sixes continuously. Let Faf do his job in…
