On
3rd October 2000, when Yuvraj
Singh made his debut for India, he made an effective
presence of youth appear in the team. For the first time,
India found a youngster who brought a new attitide to
the team. Ever since the day of his debut, Yuvraj has
been one of the outstanding fielders ever played for India.
Not to mention, his aggressive batting and tremendous
ability to generate power are amongst the features he
possesses.
An evidence of his class was clearly visible when he bailed
India out of a crunch situation and also won the match
miraculously in the Natwest Trophy final against England
at Lords. Although his ability to play quality spin, is
still a cause for concern, this man is a vital asset to
the Indian team.
During the tour of Australia when he scored that brilliant
139 against the World Champions on their home turf,
his talent was completely recognised. His presence in
the middle order makes India's batting look more stronger,
for he is a classic finisher of a game. With his inclusion
in the Test side, only time will tell whether he will
be able to perform the same way at the Test level.
