I am playing this World Cup for a very special person : Yuvraj Singh

[jpkonline]

Indian middle-order batsman Yuvraj Singh is playing this World Cup for some special person and he disclosed this secret after India's win over Australia in the quarterfinal in which Yuvraj played an important role with his all-round performance. "I am playing for a very special person that comes in my mind and whenever things are not going well I think of that person and things work out,"Yuvraj Singh said. Yuvraj Singh's focus is on the semifinal now in which India will take on arch rivals Pakistan on 30th March at Mohali. "The India-Pakistan game is going to be another dream game after India-Australia. It's a great victory for India today. We would be playing our best cricket against Pakistan. They know our game we know theirs both teams are equal. They have had a very good tournament and have beaten West Indies and Australia," he said. "We don't want to think about the Pakistan game now. It has been a high-pressure game for us (against Australia) and lot of our system has been drained. We would like to relax for a couple of days and then make plans about Pakistan game," he added. India reached semis by defeating the defending champions Australia and lot of credit should go to Yuvraj Singh who was adjudged man-of-the-match fourth time in this World Cup. Over the last one year I have been dreaming of staying till the end and taking the team to victory against Australia in the World Cup and the moment has come. This is the moment I have lived for as a cricketer," he said. Yuvraj feels that Raina's innings of 34 runs in the crunch time will boost his confidence. "When Raina came in I told him to take his time and let's get 20-30 run partnership. He has shown nerves in a crucial stage and this will boost his confidence also," he said. http://www.criclounge.com/news/2415/I-am-playing-this-World-Cup-for-a-very-special-person-Yuvraj-Singh.html

Its for his father im sure of this.

[akshayxyz]

^ as per a TOI interview with Yograj Singh - he claims, the person can be Sachin or Yuvi's mother Or some other mysterious person.

[future star]

you wanna know ? Sachin Tendulkar

[ravishingravi]

I think he has distanced from his father. I wouldn't blame him.

[akshayxyz]

As per this: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/cricket-world-cup-2011/news/Is-Tendulkar-Yuvrajs-secret-special-one/articleshow/7789859.cms

Yograj, who spent long hours with Yuvraj at the nets just before the World Cup, said: "I won't be surprised if it's Sachin. Tendulkar has played a big hand in the turnaround in Yuvraj's career. He has been there for him throughout and has had long discussions with him on the mental and technical aspects of the game. The born-again Yuvarj you see today owes a lot to Tendulkar. I think if India make the final he will dedicate it all his mother and Sachin."

That special person or not - as if we did not have enough reasons to Sachin.

[Ranvir]

Probably his latest Bollywood squeeze.

[Misu243]

Clearly it is only one person and one person only...Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. Good job Yuvi. In fact every player should play their hearts out on wednesday and in the final for the little master.

[Rajan]

Yuvi is referring to his fiancee /future wife clearly in my opinion.

[girishk14]

Veena maliK!

Rakhi Sawant :dontknow:

[Malcolm Merlyn]

I heard it was his guruji.....

[kooljatt]

As far as i know , his inspiration in tough times is his mother. But over here he is mentioning a Sikh Saint in Punjab , who he visits every time he is in Punjab to seek blessings ! i dont know "Baba ji's" name but he might be in this pic

[WC2011INDIA]

I am hoping for the best. Yuvi should have saved this statement after semi-finals or after winning the cup. Also, I hope he didn't give away his best roar in the last match i.e. after winning. I pray there is more Yuvi can do to win this world cup for Sachin and India.
