Not everyone in cricket gets support in Indian Cricket like MS Dhoni: Yuvraj Singh

The Indian cricket team won the T20 World Cup in 2007 and the 50-Over World Cup in 2011.

In particular, the Indian team led by Kapil Dev won the World Cup in 1983, almost 28 years after the Indian team won the 50-over World Cup in 2011 under the leadership of Dhoni.

In both the series, Yuvraj Singh was the main reason for the Indian team to win the trophy.

Yuvraj Singh also won the Man of the Series award at the 2011 World Cup. However, Yuvraj Singh's slow performance in the 2014 T20 World Cup final against Sri Lanka drew heavy criticism. Thus, Yuvraj Singh earned a lot of criticism during his last phase of cricket tour.

Speaking on the occasion, Yuvraj Singh said, "During the T20 World Cup in 2014, I was very low on confidence. There was an atmosphere that I could get dropped. It’s not an excuse but I wasn’t getting enough support from the team. From the time of Gary, I was in Duncan’s era and things had completely changed in the team." 

"Definitely when you have support from the coach and the captain it helps. Look at Mahi (MS Dhoni) towards the end of his career. He had so much support from Virat and Ravi Shastri. They took him to the World Cup, he played till the end, and went on to play 350 games. I think support is very important but in Indian cricket everybody will not get support," he added.

"There have been great players like Harbhajan Singh, Virender Sehwag, VVS Laxman, Gautam Gambhir who didn’t get that (support). When you are batting out there and you know that the axe is hanging on your head how will you concentrate and bat and give your best. It is not an excuse but with different coaches and after 2011 times are very different," said Yuvraj Singh.

The 8th Behindwoods Gold Medals Awards will be held this year on May 15 and 22 at the Island Grounds in Chennai from 6pm to 11.30pm. Ticket booking for this is currently underway.
