‘Winning World Cup is eternal, nothing can replace that’: Yuvraj

TIL Desk Sports/ Former India all-rounder and Player of the Tournament of the 2011 World Cup Yuvraj Singh, on Friday, said that winning the World Cup is eternal and nothing can replace it in his cricketing playing career. Yuvraj shared a montage of 2011 World Cup memories and his thoughts on the title-winning journey in a Twitter video. In the World Cup, Yuvraj scored 362 runs and took 15 wickets.

After the tournament, Yuvraj was diagnosed with cancer and it was revealed that the southpaw had played the tournament in immense pain. “It is 10 years now when we won the last World Cup. Time has gone by so quickly. The whole team wanted to win the World Cup so badly especially for Sachin because we knew that it was his last WC so wanted to win the title in India which was never done before. It was really special for us, I can’t put it in words because those emotions can’t be expressed.

 There were a couple of great individual performances especially from MS Dhoni and Gautam Gambhir in the finals. Gambhir throughout the tournament. Virender Sehwag some great opening partnerships with Sachin. Sachin, obviously, great throughout the whole journey in the World Cup. I think Zak (Zaheer Khan) took us 20 wickets and always got us breakthroughs. I also performed a bit in the WC,” Yuvraj said in a video shared on his official Twitter handle.
