Yuvraj Singh roared back to form with a brilliant, unbeaten 164 against Madhya Pradesh as Punjab posted a record 347 for 3 on the first day in a Ranji Trophy match in Lahli.<\/p>\nYuvraj Singh roared back to form with a brilliant, unbeaten 164 against Madhya Pradesh as Punjab posted a record 347 for 3 on the first day in a Ranji Trophy match in Lahli.<\/p>\n
Team India’s once a permanent member is now putting his heart out to get back into the team.<\/p>\n
His knock is a subtle reminder to the Indian selectors that the celebrated all-rounder can still pack punch or two. It was his 25th first-class hundred. During his 241-ball stay, the left-handed batsman hit 24 boundaries.<\/p>\n
The 34-year-old was ignored for the first three One-Day International matches against the visiting New Zealand team, and by the look of things, he’s unlikely to find a place in the 15-member squad for the remaining two matches too.<\/p>\n
But the veteran all-rounder is giving him a chance by staying relevant in the domestic season.<\/p>\n
During the match he started slowly, shrugging off rustiness, then went onto punish Madhya Pradesh bowlers.<\/p>\n
At the end of day’s play, he was involved in an unbeaten stand of 152 runs with another India discard Gurkeerat Singh (101 off 102 balls).<\/p>\n
For the record, Punjab’s Day 1 total surpassed the previous highest opening day score of 339 for 7 by Haryana, against Rajasthan earlier this year.<\/p>\n
India will play New Zealand in a five-match ODI series, starting October 16 at Dharamsala.<\/p>\n
The Indian board already announced a 15-member team for the first three matches, with Suresh Raina making a comeback.<\/p>\n
Yuvraj last played an ODI in December 2013. And his fans will be hoping for yet another comeback from one of India’s most beloved cricketers.<\/p>\n
The multiple World Cup winner has so far played 293 ODI matches, scoring 8329 with 13 hundreds, besides taking 111 wickets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
