Yuvraj Singh on fire

After licking the aussies in the recent test series 2-0 to reclaim the Gavaskar-Border trophy, the Indian cricket team is currently playing a seven match ODI series against the English team led by K Pieterson.

The Indian middle order was bolstered by the match winner from Chandigarh, Yuvraj Singh who in the first match at Rajkot on last friday hammered a wonderful 137 off just 78 balls, hitting exactly a 100 runs in boundaries and sixes. And yesterday at Indore he pummelled the English bowling attack to score 122 runs in 117 balls and also claimed 4 wickets. In both the matches he has been adjudged the man of the match.

Yuvi has shown he has not lost it yet. His deft touch was very evident in these two games. He was on fire and one wishes he goes on like this. If he goes on like this we are likely to give a 7-0 drubbing to the visitors. Indian supporters would be delighted with such an outcome which can lift the country's morale in these recessionary times and lift the pall of gloom which hangs across the entire Industrial and corporate landscape of India.
