Driving Naari Programme launched in Chandigarh
Kolkata, With his career getting a fresh lease of life, Yuvraj Singh today said he cannot wait to be back in the dressing room after going through a “really terrible” phase.
“The phase I went through was really terrible, it can’t be worse. But I’ve emerged stronger,” said Yuvraj. “There’s always a pressure to come back. Pressure is always there in international cricket. People always expect you to repeat your old performances and records.”
Yuvraj, who battled cancer after his Man of the Tournament performance in the 2011 World Cup triumph, said his old form would be back with time.
“I’m sure it will come back with time, I’m hopeful of getting results,” the 34-year-old said. The last time Yuvraj donned India colours was in the World T20 in 2014. He looked completely out of depth in that tournament. The left-hander, however, performed reasonably well in the domestic circuit to send a reminder to the selectors. “I’ve been out of the team for more than one-and-a-half years. It’s difficult to motivate yourself to play domestic cricket but that’s the only way forward,” he said. “I’ve been getting so many messages on social media and everybody wants me to do well. I am very thankful and grateful to my fans.”
