Indian Cricket Team Seniors: What the future has in store for them

Yuvraj Singh:

The Warrior: In every sense of the word

The hero who ended India's 28-year long wait for a World Cup, and above everything, the inspiration to thousands of cancer survivors all over the globe: yes, he is the perennial fighter, Yuvraj Singh.

From his debut in the 2000 ICC Knockout Cup to his belligerent knock against a hapless Pakistani bowling in the recently-concluded Champions Trophy, Yuvraj has given Indian fans plenty of memories to cherish - my personal favourite still being the 2001 Natwest Trophy triumph which made me a fan of the game forever.

Yuvraj stormed back into the Champions Trophy team on the back of some scintillating knocks in the domestic circuit, but couldn't retain his place in the side owing to some indifferent performances.

He has been 'rested' for the ongoing series against Australia which means he is still in the thick of things. Things which may work against him are his age, his diminishing fielding prowess and the fact that he isn't rolling his arm these days. But given his experience, the natural penchant for hitting big and the never-say-die attitude, he may eventually get back his no. 4 spot, where he revelled in in the past.
