Yuvraj Singh's honest verdict on India's poor performance
Meanwhile, legendary Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh feels the team’s poor performance on the recent UK tour should be seen as part of their rebuilding phase and urged for patience.
Yuvraj was quoted as saying by JioStar: “People shouldn’t forget what this Indian team has achieved over the last couple of years, winning three major titles. The team is in transition, new players are coming in, and phases like these are bound to happen. Now it’s time to rethink and bounce back.”
