Yuvraj Singh questions the credentials of India's batting coach

In an Instagram live session, Yuvraj Singh criticized the appointment of Vikram Rathour as India's batting coach. The former all-rounder also questioned Rathour's ability to guide Indian players in T20 cricket. Yuvraj Singh went on to question the credentials of Vikram Rathour, saying that he has just played six Tests and seven ODIs for India between 1996 and 1997.

Yuvraj Singh said that Vikram Rathour is his friend but he doesn't think he can help the Indian players in T20Is. Yuvraj Singh also said that the players of different personalities should be dealt with differently and gave an example of how he would have dealt with the players like Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya. Yuvraj Singh said if he was the coach of the Indian team, he would tell goodnight to Bumrah at 9 pm and take Hardik Pandya out for a drink at 10 pm.

Yuvraj Singh also seemed to take a dig at Indian head coach Ravi Shastri. The southpaw said that the current guys have no one to talk to and take advice. When he was asked if it is Ravi Shastri's job to guide the players, Yuvraj said that he doesn't know if Ravi Shastri is doing so but he could be occupied with other things.

Yuvraj also said that coaches cannot tell all players to just go out and play their game and express themselves. He added that this approach may work with someone like Virender Sehwag but this will never work with someone like Cheteshwar Pujara. He pointed out that the coaching staff need to realise these things.
