Its been nearly five years since the magic of yuvraj has hit the field of Cricket. No one can forget the quarterfinal against Australia where his eighty odd runs, called upon the commentators to announce the birth of a "Prince of Punjab" in cricket.
Well time has passed and yuvraj has achieved what he is capable of. His six sixers in the 20-20 world cup is yet another unforgettable accomplishment. But is he the future that the Indian Cricket is looking forward to.
Well i doubt so. Even now, when india is chasing a big score i always look forward to Sachin and Dravid to do the damage, even if they fail eight out of ten times. Now why is that so. Yuvraj has made an impression in the indian mind that he is carefree and hence perhaps will never take up responsibility as taken by sachin and dravid. Though full of talent and energy, he will perhaps only be remembered for his brief brilliances but will never hold the title of Mr.Resposible. Not to mention his place in test team is still not certain. His footwork isn't anywhere near perfect, and his body language is sometimes very casual.
So what's the deal, Yuvraj still holds a special place in my heart.....but perhaps will not be entitled for "Future of Indian cricket" as he will failed to be as reliable as the so called BIG THREE of indian cricket.
