Yuvraj Singh played a swashbuckling 62-run knock to help SRH beat RCB by 35 runs in the IPL 2017 opener.
On Wednesday evening Yuvraj Singh showed why he is still one of the world’s most destructive batsmen in the shortest format of the game. Playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the first match of IPL 2017, Yuvraj smashed 62 off just 27 balls.
Speaking about his innings which saw his typical free flowing strokeplay, Yuvraj Singh said that he has been batting with more freedom after making a return to the Indian ODI team. Yuvraj made a comeback to the Indian team against England earlier this year and scored a brilliant century.
Sunrisers Hyderabad captain David Warner says if Yuvraj Singh continues his rampaging form in the tournament they have every chance of defending their Indian Premier League title.
“The comeback into the Indian team has really helped me. I am more free in my mind and I am not worrying anymore about making a comeback. I am just going to play according to the situation and express myself,” said Yuvraj.
Warner was all praise for Yuvraj, who played a swashbuckling 62-run knock to help Sunrisers beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by 35 runs in the IPL 2017 opener in Hyderabad on Wednesday.
Even Warner was also happy to see Shikhar Dhawan scoring some runs on the board at the top. Dhawan, who was inconsistent in the last IPL, scored valuable 40 runs while opening the batting.
Warner also hailed the performance of Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan for his impressive IPL debut. Rashid, the first Afghan cricketer to play in IPL, returned with impressive match figures of 2 for 36 that included the wickets of Mandeep Singh and Travis Head.
