Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has scored the second slowest fifty in his T20 career in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 zonal league match against Delhi. He scored 50* off 40 deliveries with 4 fours and a solitary six.

Yuvi struggled to take the run-rate up in the innings as Punjab only scored 32 runs in the last four overs. However, this is not the first time when the flamboyant all-rounder has struggled in the T20s as the going has gotten tough for him before even at the international level.

The slowest fifty by Yuvraj Singh in his overall T20 career so far is off 41 deliveries, which he also scored in the same tournament a couple of years ago. In the IPL, he has endured tough times in the middle as his slowest in the tournament is also off 40 deliveries for Delhi Daredevils against Mumbai Indians in 2015.

While his struggles in the T20 leagues are quite visible, Singh has also failed to accelerate the scoring rate playing for India. The sixer king of India is currently striving hard to come back into the national squad. Though his current knock isn’t a great indication for him as it doesn’t seem to be enough for his team’s cause.

Meanwhile, Punjab posted a decent score of 170 runs while batting first against Delhi on the back of Manan Vohra’s 50-ball 74-run knock. Though it could be argued that Yuvraj’s innings ended in a winning cause for his team as opposed to Gambhir’s as both strangely played slowly in the game.
