Yuvraj Singh was one of the most prolific batsmen in the history of ODI and T20I cricket and one of the biggest match-winners for India in the limited overs format. He played many memorable innings for India from the No. 4 position and since then it has been difficult for the team to find a stable player who can win matches for India. Interestingly, the former flamboyant left-hander named the trio of Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja as the batsmen to see who would turn up in any situation for India in the years to come. could.
Yuvraj scored 8609 runs in ODIs – the eighth-highest for an Indian batsman and played a major role with the bat (and ball) in India’s two major world title victories in 2007 and 2011. He is widely remembered for his six sixes against Stuart Broad. For his outstanding all-round player of the series performances in the 2007 World T20 against England and in the 2011 World Cup.

When asked to name a player in the current Indian set-up, whom Yuvraj considered as the biggest match-winner for the country, the stylish left-hander stunned everyone by choosing three batsmen. Yuvraj said there was no specialist left-hander (like him) currently in the middle-order at No. 4, with the lower-middle order comprised of three fine hitters.
He said that the pair of Hardik and Pant can prove to be disastrous if they bat together for a long time.
“I probably don’t see any left-hander in the middle right now. Overall we have got some good hitters in the middle. We have Rishabh. We’ve got a hearty one. I think Rishabh and Hardik play ODIs and T20s together, they will both make quite a dynamic pair batting together,” said Yuvraj.
Yuvraj also praised the dramatic improvement in Jadeja’s batting skills across all formats since the end of 2018. The left-handed batsman has taken on a new role of ‘finisher’ for India and CSK in recent times.
“You have Ravindra Jadeja coming. So, these three guys can change the course of the game anytime. Jadeja has improved rapidly in one-day cricket and T20 cricket.”
The left-handed batsman said that the combination of left and right hands is dangerous and can stop any attack in the world. He cited the example of himself and MS Dhoni who made an incredible pairing for India in the middle order in the 2000s.
“The left-right combination is always dangerous, as were me and MS Dhoni. So, I am looking forward to see Rishabh, Hardik and Jadeja bat at slots 5, 6 and 7.
Pant has raised the bar with his batting in Australia and the home series against England, Jadeja has made several cameos for India in his new avatar as a lower-order finisher, while Pandya has hit the opposition attacks with his devastating hits. continued to torment with. .
