Former Indian all-rounder, Yuvraj Singh has recently revealed that the most memorable days of his cricketing career came under the captaincy of the former Indian skipper, Sourav Ganguly. He feels that Ganguly gave him unparalleled support which he never unexperienced under the leadership of MS Dhoni or even Virat Kohli.

Yuvraj made his debut in 2000 under Ganguly during the ICC Knockout Champions Trophy but under Dhoni, his batting reached another level. He smashed six sixes in Durban in 2007 or was the Player of the Tournament in India’s triumphant 2011 World Cup. Yuvraj made his final comeback in international cricket under Kohli and although the southpaw played his best ODI knock of 150 150 against England in 2017, a strong of low scored pushed him out of the team.

Having played his last international match in June 2017 in an ODI against West Indies, Yuvraj announced his retirement from international cricket last year.

During an interview with Sportstar, Yuvraj said, “I have played under Sourav (Ganguly) and had a lot of support from him. Then Mahi (MS Dhoni) took over. It’s a difficult choice to make between Sourav and Mahi. I have more memories of time under Sourav because of the support he gave me. I didn’t have that kind of support from Mahi and Virat (Kohli).”

Yuvraj also went on to recall his best Test knock when he scored 169 against Pakistan in Bengaluru 2007 and his best ODI knock when he smashed half-century against Australia in the quarterfinal of the 2011 World Cup. Against Pakistan, India was reduced to 61/4 and then the southpaw all-rounder made a 300-run partnership for the fifth wicket as India piled 626. However, against Australia, India was down to 5/187, in chase of 261 when Yuvraj and Suresh Raina saw them over the line.

He further explained, “The 169 at Bangalore (in 2007 when India was 61 for four) and the 57 not out against Australia in the 2011 World Cup quarterfinal. The knocks came under tremendous pressure. The six sixes (in an over) were very memorable. The last three overs I had to swing every ball. The sixth ball I was expected a yorker. He (Stuart Broad) was under pressure and I was prepared. I just hit it straight.”
