Showering accolades on Yuvraj Singh, Sri Lankan cricketing great Aravinda
de Silva described the middle order batsman as the Brian Lara of India.
Admiring Yuvraj's entertaining batsmanship, de Silva expressed surprise that
a player of his calibre was being kept out of the Test eleven.
"I couldn't believe Yuvraj Singh being left out of the
Test squad. The way he plays he is the Brian Lara of India. I would pay money
to go and watch him. He is one of the best players they got in the whole of
India," de Silva said in his syndicated column to Sri Lankan newspapers.
Yuvraj was included in the Test squad for the series against
Pakistan but was not picked in the playing eleven for the first two matches.
The left-hander, who made it to the final team for the third Test due to injuries
to Sachin Tendulkar and Mahendra Singh Dhoni, scored a breezy
hundred to bail out India from a precarious situation.
