Yuvi20

I’m a purist. You have to have supplied me an illegal substance to know how finicky I am when it comes to purity. Which is why cricket’s Twenty20 version was met with a skeptical glance of my sports-loving eye. However, I did predict it would change cricket, even the 50-over and Test game (see July 27 post).
But Yuvraj Singh has singlehandedly, actually with both hands, and bat, made a believer out of me. He showed that to hit sixes, you don’t have to slog. Carnage can have class, style and poise. He has raised the bar for cricketers.
