In an interview with cricket website Sportskeeda, Yuvraj Singh, a former cricketer of the Indian team, was asked to name a batsman with whom he would love to spend the rest of his life. Surprisingly, Yuvraj overlooks two of the most popular players for selection namely, Sachin Tendulkar or Virat Kohli, both of who are regarded as the best batters in the history of cricket. Still, he chose Rohit Sharma, who is the current captain of India.
The current captain, Yuvraj, who is a world cup winner in 2011, has proved faith in Rohit for his supreme prowess of the bat. This selection proves a high level of Rohit’s batting achievements and his ability to play marvelously under pressure. This is highlighted by the choice of Yuvraj, while Rohit’s growth in terms of a batsman and his reliability for the Indian club are emphasized by his inclusion in the team.
Yuvraj has shown his admiration of Rohit’s captaincy skills and confidence in the team by opting for him as a captain, considering his great batting prowess when he knew that he has the talent to deliver in the climax moment. The support from a great cricketer like Yuvraj Singh for Rohit is perhaps one of the biggest proofs of Rohit’s skills as a batsman.
Yuvraj Singh and Rohit Sharma have a close friendship:
Yuvraj Singh and Rohit Sharma have a sweet friendship; they are frequently spotted joking and enjoying themselves together. Having played together and reached amazing team milestones, their bond goes beyond cricket. For Rohit, Yuvraj has always been a source of strength, especially in trying times.
Notably, Yuvraj was there to console Rohit when he was left out of India’s 2011 World Cup roster. To help Rohit get over the setback, he took him out to dinner. This action demonstrates Yuvraj’s empathy and their close relationship.
Earlier this year Yuvraj, in an interview, referred to Rohit as his ‘closest friend,’ to establish how close they are. They cherish such principles as respect, trust and understanding of each other’s strengths as well as weaknesses. Even though other cricketing nations have great teams, friendship between Yuvraj and Rohit has always been a bonus that Indian cricket possesses.
