New Delhi, Dec 25:
Swashbuckling all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, who forced his way back to the national T20 side after some impressive outings in domestic cricket, is confident of delivering in the upcoming three-match series against Australia, Down Under.
“I really believe that if I get a number of opportunities, I can deliver again,” Yuvi was quoted as saying by bcci.tv.
The 34-year-old southpaw, who last represented India in the ICC World Twenty20 final against Sri Lanka in April last year, said it is impossible to always maintain consistency after a decade in international cricket.
“When you play international cricket for 13-14 years, it is always tough to maintain one level. Especially with my body ? I have worked really hard in the last two-three years since my recovery ? it has been up and down,” said he.
“But this year at the domestic stage I have been batting really well, especially in the one-dayers and I am feeling really good,” added the Punjab batsman.
Yuvraj, who was the Man of the series in the 2011 World Cup, overcame lung cancer to continue his career and is relieved to be back into the side.
“It feels good to be back. It has been a while since I have represented my country. I really had to fight it out and get some good scores in domestic cricket to prove myself again. It has all paid off,” said he.
Yuvraj has currently set his eyes on the Australia tour to make his case for the upcoming ICC World T20, slated to be held in India from March 9 to April 3. UNI
