For the first time since 2016, India is prepared to face Pakistan at home. On October 14, Saturday, they will square off at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad at the current ICC Cricket World Cup. Yuvraj Singh, a great Indian all-rounder, sent Shubman Gill a personal message prior to the crucial game. The young hitter missed the team’s opening matches against Australia and Afghanistan and is presently recovering from dengue.
Yuvraj Singh discussed his conversation with Gill in-depth during an exclusive interview with News18. The 41-year-old claimed that he urged the young hitter to play against Pakistan since the match is crucial. He added that it would be challenging to recover from dengue while stating that Gill would play if his health improved.
“I called him and informed him that the World Cup was postponed because of dengue fever because main do baar dengue mein khela hun. To khadaa ho jaa aur khel since it’s a crucial game (I got dengue fever twice at the 2011 World Cup and wasn’t feeling well at the time). Just get up and start playing, Yuvraj advised.
In any case, he would have played if he felt better. However, recovering from a viral or dengue infection is quite challenging. It drains your body of everything. He continued, “I know he’s incredibly excited to play that game.
India’s performances in the first two games have been praised by Yuvraj Singh.
In praising the team’s resilience under adversity, Yuvraj Singh brought up the match against Australia in Chennai. The match against Afghanistan, in which skipper Rohit Sharma struck an extraordinary century, was also covered by the two-time world champion.
“I thought that after losing a few quick wickets in the first game, we managed the pressure pretty effectively. The bowlers played well, and we took advantage of the situation as we would in our own country.
We engaged in aggressive play versus Afghanistan, which Rohit won for us with a magnificent hundred-point performance. We are practicing under pressure since the semi-final game will be under pressure, and practicing under pressure is crucial, the former cricketer remarked.
