Yuvraj Singh
Yuvraj Singh played the kind of innings he used to play in his pomp. His 27-ball 62 gave the tournament the perfect start as the 200 run mark was breached in the first game of the season itself. Yuvraj displayed the wide range of shots that he has in his armoury to thwart the hapless RCB bowlers.
The stylish left-hander raised his half-century in 23 balls, which was the fastest in his IPL career. The shot that stood out in his cameo was off Tymal Mills’ back-of-the-hand slower one, which most people struggle to pick. Yuvraj picked the bones out of the half-tracker and deposited it in the stands with disdain, just like a baseball home run.
Yuvraj, by his own admission, has looked a different player this season due to his successful reintegration in the Indian limited-overs set-up. He is batting with a lot more freedom as he is not worried about a possible international comeback this year. This is an ominous sign for all bowlers going around in the league.
