Life has been amazing after the World Cup: YuvrajNot very long ago, a lot of fingers were raised on his fitness, form and commitment, but Yuvraj Singh silenced his critics with his all round performance in the World Cup. Not only did India win the World Cup, the southpaw went on to bag the man-of-the-tournament award and that catapulted him into an iconic stature once again.
But this time, Yuvraj is treading this tricky turf cautiously, for he knows that fame and fortune chases success and a player is a hero only till the time he performs on the field.
In an interview to Saurav Pradhan of Indian Sports News, the Pune Warriors skipper talks about his life after the World Cup, Team Pune Warriors and India’s new coach Duncan Fletcher. Excerpts:
ISN: Prior to the World Cup, a lot of questions were raised on your fitness and form. You had a tough time with your injuries. But things have changed drastically after the WC. How has the journey been since then?
Yuvraj: It has been amazing. You have good times and you have bad times. I have seen it both. People forget about your past performances. You are a star only till the time you perform. And media too played its part in making me realize this. Instead of supporting me in getting out of that phase, they just focused on the negative aspects. Last year was too bad for me. The injuries were serious and I did a lot of hard work to recover from that. I was treated by Dr Jatin and that really helped in my recovery. Infact Sania Mirza was also going through the same problem and she also underwent the same treatment. I believe that my self belief and the treatment by Dr Jatin paid off well.
