2017 Champions Trophy: 5 Indian middle order batsmen to look out for

India begin their Champions Trophy campaign against Pakistan

#2. Yuvraj Singh

Yuvraj Singh still has a lot of batting left in him

Yuvi will be playing his first Champions Trophy since 2006 and will be expected to play a huge role in the tournament for the team. The left-hander was not at his best during the IPL but put in a few good performances with the bat.

He was in good form during the England series a few months ago where he scored his career-best knock of 150. However, the 2011 World Cup Player of the Tournament has been known to struggle against swing and last played in England almost a decade back.

A lot of questions have been asked about his selection with many being of the opinion that the likes of Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, and Suresh Raina should have been given a chance instead.

Nevertheless, Yuvi’s hard hitting is something that cannot be overlooked and provided he stays fully fit, he could be a nightmare for any bowler.
