Yuvraj Singh is not sure with the selection of batting coach Vikram Rathour’s in the T20 format.

Yuvraj feels from India Hardik Pandya can break his T20 record of fastest fifty.

Yuvraj Singh seems to be not happy with new T20 coach selection of Indian batting coach Vikram Rathour’s ability in the T20 format to lead and direct Indian cricketers. 

Vikram Rathour followed Sanjay Bangar as the Indian batting coach. During an Instagram chat on Tuesday, Yuvraj said, “He (Rathour) is my friend, do you think he can help players of this T20 generation? Has he played cricket at the level to help them?” Rathour featured in six Tests and seven ODIs for India in 1996-97. 

Winner of the 2007 World T20 and 2011 World Cup Yuvraj thinks in man management of players via an understanding of their characters. He said, “If I was coach, I’ll tell sweet dreams to Jasprit Bumrah at 9 pm and take Hardik Pandya out for a drink at ten pm…that’s how you deal with different players.” 

The former all-rounder also feels Hardik Pandya can break his record of fastest T20 fifty saying, “Hardik Pandya could be the guy who breaks my record of fastest T20 fifty. 

He has all the making of a great all-rounder, but then again you need to have someone to manage him in the team.”

Yuvraj also took a sly dig at Ravi Shashtri and said, “the current guys have no one to talk to and seek help. I don’t know if Ravi is guiding them, but maybe he has other things in his hand. 

You can’t tell everyone to go out and play your game, express yourself, this method may go with someone like Sehwag, but this will never work with (Chesteshwar) Pujara, so these things the coaching staff need to understand.” 

Yuvraj also talked about other topics, criticizing the squad selection for 2019 World Cup, reminiscing one of the worst days of his carrier in 2014 after the World T20 Final loss to Sri Lanka and avoiding the running of his former club KINGS XI PUNJAB.
