Yuvraj Singh still believes that he has not yet become a complete batsman. The attacking southpaw may be the centre of attraction in Indian cricket now, but he prefers to be on the backfoot when it comes to answering queries regarding his batting.
"Aapko jo kehna hai keh do," was his answer, when asked whether he
thought he was now a complete batsman. "I won't consider myself a good cricketer unless I do well
in Test cricket," he said.
His
performances in the Twenty20 World Cup brought him back into the
limelight.
And the focus
stayed on him during his impressive knocks, including a century, against
Australia in the
recently concluded one-day series.
Yuvraj's career is certainly at a high now, but the million dollar
question is whether he has changed his batting style after his Twenty20 success.
"When you are chasing 320 runs in 50 overs, you can't expect me to play
like a I would in a Test
match. A batsman has to play according to the situation. Every match
should be played according
to its demands. Fifty overs should be played like 50 overs and a Test
match should be played like
a five-day game," he said.
Yuvraj welcomed the International Cricket Council (ICC)'s decision to
restrict each team to playing only seven Twenty20 matches per year. His sympathy for the
bowlers is natural. For who else can know the pain of being brutally hit, better than Yuvraj,
especially after he was smacked for five sixes in a ODI by England's Dimtri Mascarenhas.
"Twenty20 cricket is really a good thing," he said, but added quickly: "But it's only for batsmen and the
crowd who come for entertainment."
So far, the last few months have been quite a hectic season for the Indian
cricketers. "If you
see, the last five months we have been playing continuously and you
can't deny the fact that the
body is getting tired," the Punjab batsman said.
Apart from senior players, Yuvraj has also been rested from the
Challenger Series. India will
then take on arch-rivals Pakistan in a home series.
Asked whether India have an edge playing at home, he said: "You can't
say that. The conditions
here are favourable to both teams and it will be a good contest. They
have good bowlers like Umar
Gul, Mohd Asif and if Shoaib Akhtar comes back, then one can expect a
keen tussle between the two
teams."
