Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma recalls his first meeting with Yuvraj Singh in the MI camp and felt that the veteran means attitude, but the latter has a different story to tell.
The 25-year-old has been in remarkable form this IPL and his Mumbai Indians teammate Yuvraj hopes that he extends his explosive run to the 50-over mega event.
With Yuvraj sporting theBlue jersey and Bhajji in Yellow, the two met ahead of the clash at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai.
Tendulkar finished as the second highest run-getter of the tournament.
India became the first team to win a World Cup at home and became the only team to win the 60-over World Cup and the 50-over World Cup.
On September 19, 2007, in a World T20 match in Durban, Yuvraj had scripted a carnage by walloping six sixes off Broad in an over during a 16-ball 58.
Mumbai Indians bowling coach Shane Bond praised Rasikh Salam, saying he was one of better bowlers for the team during its IPL opener against Delhi.
Out of national team's scheme of things for good, Yuvraj has had poor track record in IPL but started on a bright note with a half-century for his latest franchise Mumbai Indians.
Yuvraj's comments came after Pant showed his heroics with the bat once again and played a match-winning unbeaten 78 off just 27 balls.
Rohit Sharma's MI will take on Shreyas Iyer's DC in their opening match today at the Wankhede in Mumbai.
While Pant is part of Delhi Capitals, More is wicket- keeping consultant with three-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians.
The 2019 season meanwhile, could also be the last time when fans will witness some of their favourite stars in action in the cash-rich league.
It has been learnt that the Indian team management is very happy with Shankar's technique and more importantly his temperament in pressure situations.
Yuvraj, the 2011 World Cup's player of the tournament, felt that Dhoni's role is vital for the team and has a great 'cricketing mind'.
The 37-year-old, who was picked by Mumbai Indians for his base price of Rs 1 crore at the IPL auctions, has set his sights on the T20 extravaganza to make a bid for a comeback.
Yuvraj was a part of India's 2011 World Cup winning squad and the southpaw is ready to deliver at Wankhede once again.
Former India teammates, Rohit and Yuvi are set to join forces in Mumbai for the IPL 2019.
Yuvraj, who last played for India in June 2017, is now looking forward to playing for MI in a 'familiar environment'.
The intense bidding for the two youngsters showed that the teams were willing to loosen purse strings for talent and not just the names.
Yuvraj initially went unsold in the auction and it was only after he re-entered the players' pool, Mumbai Indians bought him.
