Yuvraj Singh and Rohit Sharma
World Cup 2023: The Indian cricket team, which has faced disappointment in the T20 World Cup for two consecutive years, now has its sights on the ODI World Cup to be held on home soil next year. The Indian team has about a year before this World Cup and before that, captain Rohit Sharma will look for a good team. Meanwhile, former Team India all-round star Yuvraj Singh has made quite the statement.
This player should open with Rohit
Yuvraj Singh, who made India world champions in 2011, believes that Shubman Gill is a strong contender to open the innings in the 2023 ODI World Cup to be held in India. Gill is not part of the Indian team in the ongoing ODI series in Bangladesh, but he was part of the team that toured New Zealand. Yuvraj said: “I think Shubman is performing very well and there is consistency in his performance. I think he is a strong contender to open India’s entries in the 2023 World Cup.
Gill is doing amazing
Yuvraj, who retired from all forms of cricket in the year 2019, continued to play the role of mentor for the young cricketers of his state Punjab and Gill is also included in these. During the 2020 lockdown due to COVID-19, Shubman spent time with Yuvraj and learned cricket from former Indian team all-rounder along with current Punjab captain and Sunrisers Hyderabad all-rounder Abhishek Sharma. Yuvraj said: “Shubman is a very hard-working player and he focuses on all the good things. I think he will become a legend in the next 10 years.
Yuvraj declined to comment on the performance of the Indian team in the T20 World Cup and the dismissal of the national selectors. Responding to a question, he said that he is ready to become a cricket or sports administrator. “I don’t know what the future holds for me, but if I can contribute to the development of the game in the country, I don’t care,” Yuvraj said. It’s not just cricket, but I would love to contribute to the development of the sport in the country.
