Rohit Sharma defends Yuvraj Singh, hopes he will excel

Rohit Sharma and Yuvraj Singh

Prominent Indian batsman Rohit Sharma today extended solidarity in favor of out-of-form Yuvraj Singh. He expects him to play an impressive innings in the game against Bangladesh tomorrow.

Rohit Sharma said: “As far as Yuvraj is concerned, it’s a matter of just one innings. If one innings goes well, he will get back confidence. He has been a fantastic player for India having won us a lot of T20 matches in the past including World Cups. I hope that tomorrow is the day when he gets that one elusive innings, needed to get back to form. It will be great for team”.

He also did not give much weightage to Yuvraj’s sloppy effort on the field. On this issue of poor fielding, Rohit commented: “He (Yuvraj) is a good fielder but good fielders also drop catches. Not a big deal. It’s about that one innings that gives him confidence and everything will be alright after that”.

Hoping to get into semi-finals of the World T20 he stated: “Absolutely, this is our best chance to qualify for the semi-finals and we are not looking too far ahead. As I said, tomorrow’s game would be crucial and we can take the things from there on.

“Semi-final or final is still a long way to go. Right now, we would like to take one match at a time. Tomorrow’s game, as I just mentioned will be important. We will see what we can do after we are through with tomorrow’s match. We can plan accordingly then.”

Millions of die hard fans of Indian cricket also expect that Team India, under the dynamic leadership of MS Dhoni and especially with the presence of firebrand Virat Kohli will certainly emerge as a winner of World T20 Championship of 2014.
