India Lost to NZ

      India lost to New Zealand in the 2nd T20 match held in Chennai today evening. NZ scored 167 in 20 overs with the help of the remarkable innings by the today's Man of the match B.McCullum with 91 not out beside his name. Irfan Pathan took 3 wickets in his 4 overs spell. India was so close to win the match but forced to stop to 166 in 20 overs by New Zealand bowlers. It was a last ball finishing chance for Rohit Sharma who need to hit a boundary in the last ball of James Franklin, but he managed to have 2 singles only and India lost to NZ by 1 run. Virat Kohli played a fine innings of 70 out of 41 balls before he was out by Franklin. Yuvraj played well too, scored 34 of 26 with 2 blustering sixes and a four. He came with the India jersey after a long one year gap. But Yuvraj showed a great commitment to cricket as he defeated his cancer and came bak to his normal life. In spite of the loose it is a good news for Dhoni that Y.Singh is totally fit and fine to be regular in India team, Yuvi was 100% fine in field, good running between the wicket and also took a catch of Franklin. By the result of today win, New Zealand also grab the series too as the 1st match out of 2 was washed out and the result in favor of NZ 1-0.      

Debut For India Again

    It's going to be like his debut again for Yuvraj Singh after October'2000 at Nairobi against Australia. That was Saurav Ganguly captaining him that time and for this time it will be MS Dhoni who also captained him in the last world cup which India won and Yuvi was the man of the series. After that Yuvi was attacked by cancer and forced to out of the field for over a year. The left handed batting all rounder Yuvraj Singh becomes the most important part of Indian batting line up and a pillar at middle order for last 10 years. Hit 6 sixes in a over of  S. Broad in the first T20 world cup in SA, which India put in to his pocket in 2007.  

  Today on 8th September'12 Yuvraj is coming back to the ground, facing New Zealand in first T20. It's seams to be Yuvi's second debut for India and hope the comeback match will bring us the old thundering Yuvraj Singh again.

    The champion is coming back to the ground. Best wishes for Yuvraj Singh for his second innings.
