Though his hopes of joining the Indian team were significantly crushed when team India captain Virat Kohli stated that the IPL will have no bearing on the selection for the WC squad, Yuvi will go strong this season. He last played an international game for Indian in 2017 and his tough journey fighting cancer is an inspiring one.
He is a player loved by all throughout the nation and though the chances of him getting a national call-up are slim, he'll want to make a statement with strong performances this season.
