Pune Warriors’ skipper Yuvraj Singh happy with the winning momentum – IPL News
The Pune Warriors' skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820, on Wednesday.
Chasing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kerala-c803’s total of 148, Yuvraj XI took a shaky start but after surviving some nervous moments, the Warriors team overwhelmed the target easily with seven balls remaining. Yuvraj could not show his magic with the bat and got out after adding just eight
runs to the total. However, the skipper looked quite pleased over the all-round performance from his team, registering their second consecutive victory in the competition.
Extremely happy over team’s winning momentum, Yuvraj said, "A win is a win, hard way or easy. I will take it. Very happy with the momentum."
The captain further praised Mohnish Mishra, who played a fantastic unbeaten innings of 37 runs, guiding his side to the second triumph in the T20 league.
Yuvraj explained that Mishra wanted to open the innings, but he suggested to Mohnish to bat at the five-down position because that is the slot which corresponds to his style of play.
Meanwhile, the captain gave full credit to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Robin-Uthappa-c2356 who chipped in his vital 31 runs, steering Pune side to the glory against Mahela Jayawardene’s Kochi-based outfit.
Yuvraj also heaped praise on his bowlers, who had their rivals in trouble at 24 for 4 before Kochi fought back. Furthermore Yuvraj remarked that he was not worried to field first after losing the toss.
"Our bowlers bowled well,” Yuvraj said. “Some captains like to put up a total, some like to chase. Our team is chasing well, did in the last two games. Happy to bat second," added the classy Indian all-rounder.
In the 19th over of the Kochi innings, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Smith-c90598 is struggling with his injured
knee.
The flamboyant all-rounder avoided making any comment, when asked about the Indian government’s decision of resuming bilateral cricket ties with the neighbouring country, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755. Yuvraj stated, "It is not in our hands. It`s not my call. It`s they who decide.
My job is to play.
