Yuvraj Singh came out in support of Rohit and Kohli: Former Indian cricket team all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has said, ‘India’s defeat against New Zealand at home is bigger than the defeat in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. However, he has supported the out-of-form captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli and said that it is not fair to criticize them. India has been facing a lot of difficulties in the Test format for the last few months. The Indian team had to face a 0-3 defeat against New Zealand at home.
Virat and Rohit are more unhappy than us.
After this, after 10 years, the Indian team had to face defeat by 1-3 in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Meanwhile, both of them became victims of severe criticism due to their performance. Regarding this, Yuvraj said, ‘I think losing against New Zealand was more painful because we lost 3-0 at home. You know this is not acceptable. Losing against Australia is still acceptable because you have won there twice and this time unfortunately you lost. In my opinion Australia has been the most dominant team for many years. We are saying very bad things about great players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. People forget what they have achieved in the past. He is one of the greatest cricketers of all time. He did not play good cricket. That’s why they lost. They are more unhappy than us.
Yuvraj expects a strong comeback from India
Hoping that India will come back stronger, he said, ‘I think Gautam Gambhir as head coach, Ajit Agarkar as selector, captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah all are the best players in cricket at the moment and They will have to decide in which direction Indian cricket will go in the future?
Rohit will always be a great captain
Yuvraj praised Rohit for keeping himself out of the Sydney Test, saying it was a selfless act. I think this is a big thing. I have never seen a captain not being in good form and sitting out of the team. This is the greatness of Rohit Sharma that he put the team before himself. I think he is a great captain. Whether the team wins or loses, he will always be a great captain. Under his captaincy we reached the final of the ODI World Cup. We have also won the T20 World Cup. We have achieved a lot.
Yuvraj asked critics to exercise patience
Urging critics to exercise restraint while analyzing the team’s performance, Yuvraj said, ‘I was a student of the game earlier and I am still a student of the game. He has played more cricket than me. It is easy to say bad things about players when they are not performing. But it is very difficult to support them. My job is to support my friends and brothers. This is family to me.
