Yuvraj Singh Responds to the BCCI's Analysis of Team India: It's Harder to Take Than Australia's Loss

 After the BCCI scrutinised Team India, Yuvraj Singh pointed out that it was a "tougher pill to swallow." Not a defeat against Australia



In the midst of the heated controversy surrounding whether or not Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma should play in Ranji Trophy matches, former India batsman Yuvraj Singh believes that a player who is having trouble with his form should always return to playing local cricket, regardless of his status in the national side. Since India's defeat to Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, there has been increasing demand for Rohit and Kohli to compete in the Ranji Trophy in order to go back to their red-ball best. Over the course of five Test matches, both hitters had trouble scoring runs, but Rohit in particular was benched for the last Test in Sydney.

Cricket at home is significant. I've always believed that you should come play domestic cricket if you have the time and aren't playing.

"That is the most effective method for obtaining game time and practice. At the Celebrity Cricket League launch event on Thursday, Yuvraj responded to a PTI question by saying, "If you have the time and are not injured, I think domestic cricket is very important."



Even players like Sunil Gavaskar, Ravi Shastri, and even India's head coach Gautam Gambhir have discussed the value of domestic cricket in the wake of India's consecutive Test series defeats, including New Zealand's first-ever home series thumping.

Before the Ranji Trophy resumes on January 23, Rohit has participated in Mumbai's practice sessions; however, Kohli has not yet indicated that he will make a domestic return for Delhi.

Other celebrities, including Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Rishabh Pant, have affirmed that they will be available for their respective home team games.


How many captains of India have taken a break?

One of the best left-handers in history, Yuvraj, praised Rohit for taking a break from the Sydney Test because of a weak run. After the Australia fiasco, Gambhir's role has also come under scrutiny, but Yuvraj spoke up for both of his former teammates.

I've said that before, too. You guys examine each series separately. You praise India when they win a series and blame them when they lose.

"I always examine the team graph over a three- or five-year span. When it comes to Rohit, Gautam is new to the system and need more time. As captain of India during the ODI World Cup final, Rohit Sharma has won the T20 World Cup. He guided the Mumbai Indians (MI) to five IPL championships.

"He gave someone else a chance by stepping down from the previous match. In the past, how many captains have done that? Tell me, please," he said.

He reaffirmed that defeating New Zealand 0–3 at More "questionable" was home. Yuvraj remarked, "...that is a tougher pill to swallow,"
Although India lost the series in Australia, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and rookie Nitish Reddy, who scored an unforgettable hundred in the Melbourne Test, both had outstanding outings.

"It's incredible that Nitish reached a hundred in his debut tour. I don't know how many people have done that. It is quite admirable that Jaiswal got more than 150 in his debut Test match in Australia. We ought to discuss these performances more," Yuvraj continued.
