TIL Desk Sports/ India”s World Cup hero Yuvraj Singh on Friday took a fun dig at India”s nagging No. 4 woes after Harbhajan Singh threw his weight behind Sanju Samson to bat in that position in One Day International matches.
Samson smashed a 48-ball 91 in India A”s 36-run victory over South Africa A, batting at No. 3. “Why not Sanju Samson at number 4 in odi.. with good technique and good head on his shoulders.. well played today anyways against SA A,” Harbhajan said in a tweet.
Replying to his long time former teammate, Yuvraj said: “Top order is very strong bro they don”t need no. 4 batsman.” He followed it up with a laughing emoticon.
Iyer batted at number five during the recently-concluded ODI series in the West Indies and scored 71 and 65 in the two innings he played and impressed both head coach Ravi Shastri and skipper Virat Kohli.
