After his blitzkrieg against England in the Twenty20 World Cup match in
Durban, Yuvraj Singh now also wants to concentrate on his bowling.
"I called him up early this morning and congratulated him for his heroic
innings. Apart from wanting to continue his fine touch which he has rediscovered
now, Yuvraj is also keen to improve his bowling," Yuvraj's father and former
cricketer Yograj Singh said here.
He said once Yuvraj returned to Chandigarh, he will work towards
improving his bowling.
"We have decided that we will work together on his bowling. He has got
a good height and there is no reason why India should not get a genuine left-arm
bowler as well," he said.
He said that 25-year-old Yuvraj had been "feeling down
a bit" after being hit for five sixes in a row by Dimitri Mascarenhas in
the sixth ODI against England earlier this month at The Oval.
Just before last night's Super Eights match, the left-handed batsman had called
up his father and expressed his desire to play a big innings.
"He telephoned me and said 'Dad, I have been getting out to wrong shots'.
He also said that he was not feeling good about being hit for five sixes.
"He said he wanted to win for the country and play a big
innings," said Yograj, who himself once donned the India cap.
