Yuvraj Singh wants to be the world’s best fielder – Cricket news
Yuvraj Singh has set his sights on being the best fielder in the modern game according to Gary Kirsten. Kirsten was India’s coach for the World Cup before announcing that he would leave the side, but during his time in charge he helped develop many Indian
players.
Kirsten paid a special mention to Yuvraj Singh’s determination to return to the side for the World Cup after being dropped from the test squad. Saying that the player of the tournament, Yuvraj Singh, put in extra hours and did not rest during his break as
he looked to regain the sharpness and match fitness that he had lost.
The South African also explained how Yuvraj wanted to be remembered as the competition’s best fielder. He said, “Most impressive was the fact that he wanted to be the best fielder in the World Cup.”
The extra work seemed to have paid off as Yuvraj was inspirational and one of the reasons for India’s success in the World Cup. The talismanic Indian did not miss a single catch that went his way in the competition. Yuvraj’s fielding performance in the final
against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 went a long way in him earning the title. Utilised mostly at point, the Indian fielder rarely lets the ball past him.
Diving to stop the ball crossing the inner circle on more than a few occasions, it was largely down to his acrobatics and determination that the Sri Lankan batsmen got off to such a slow start to their innings.
Not only that, his performances in every department of the game rightfully earned him the title of the ‘Player of the Tournament’. Having taken 15 wickets in nine matches with his bowling and scoring 369 runs with the bat, that included the final few runs
to clinch the World Cup trophy for his country, Yuvraj Singh’s all round performances did not go unnoticed and got their due reward.
Having played with the likes of legendary fielder, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jonathan-Neil-Rhodes-c69150 himself, Gary Kirsten is no stranger to seeing a great fielder in action. Yet, he could do little but praise the power house, Yuvraj Singh. He added, “For Yuvi (Yuvraj) to end up as the man-of-the-tournament,
I am extremely proud of him.”
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Kohli-c2737 and Suresh Raina’s contribution as well. The South African hailed the Indian pair’s abilities to make a ‘massive difference’ when it came to
fielding.
Kirsten recently announced that he would no longer work with the team. He saddened some of the Indian players who only had compliments to shower on the former South African batsmen, saying that he would be ‘missed’.
