Generously gifted, Yuvraj Singh is looked upon as a
strong, fearless natural destined for great things. Two months short
of his 19th birthday, he made an almost messianic entry into
international cricket, toppling Australia in the Nairobi Mini-World
Cup in 2000-01, with a blistering 84 and some scintillating
fielding. In time he was to supplement these skills with clever,
loopy left-arm spin. While Yuvraj's ability to hit the ball long and
clean were instantly recognised, he was soon found to be troubled by
quality spin and perceived to lack commitment, traits for which he
temporarily lost his place in the one-day side. But on returning,
for the last two one-dayers against Zimbabwe in early 2002, he swung
the series India's way with a matchwinning innings in each game, and
then went to England and played a key role in three Indian chases in
their dream run in the NatWest tri-series. It took 15 months more,
and an injury to his captain, Sourav Ganguly, for Yuvraj to get a
Test look-in. On the third such opportunity, against Pakistan on the
first day on a greentop at Lahore, he stroked a stunning century off
110 balls from 94 for 4. Is tipped to open in Test cricket in the
future.
