Yuvraj Singh feels he has found his flow after Sri Lanka knock

Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh seems to have regained his mojo after his brisk knock against Sri Lanka at the Asia Cup. Although 35 may not seem to be too big a score, Yuvraj took just 18 balls to get there and hit 3 glorious sixes.

Speaking to bcci.tv, Yuvraj acknowledged his return to form by saying, "Today was one of those days where I felt my flow was back. I needed a bit of a flow out there to feel good. I felt that my game is back. I have been trying to get as much batting time as possible and I believe I have been picking up slowly."

Sri Lankan spinner Rangana Herath bore the brunt of the southpaw's bat the most as he was blasted for two consecutive sixes. On his onslaught over Herath, Yuvi said, "I was assessing which bowlers I am going to attack and which bowlers I won't. I told myself that if a left-arm spinner is bowling, then I am going to go and attack straight away. Any left-hand batsman who can hit sixes will go after left-arm spin … Tonight I just wanted to be positive and hit the ball straight away and deliver for the team."

Yuvraj Singh had made a useful contribution in the Pakistan game as well; however, his 14 not out off 32 deliveries was a completely different knock and did not feature any of his signature big hits.

Talking about his unusual innings, Yuvraj said, "Last game, it was a different situation where we needed to take a spell out and get a partnership going. I took my time out there where I could leave a lot of balls and get a partnership going along with Virat Kohli. It was a small total so I could take a lot of time.

The swashbuckling left-hander also showered praise on his team-mate Virat Kohli for the great form he has shown. "I feel he has been in the form of his life for the last five to six years. He has been very consistent and he knows his role really well. He is batting beautifully and I hope he continues to do that," Yuvraj stated.

Yuvraj Singh is hoping that he can carry on from here and win more matches for India at the upcoming World T20. He said, "I want to get better every game. Hopefully, I can continue this good run ahead. I believe it is my responsibility to go and change the game for the team. Hopefully, I can do it more than once."

As far the Indian fans are concerned, they will be wanting Yuvraj to emulate his heroics from the inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup.
