Yuvraj Singh's advice to Indian women's team ahead of World Cup on home soil: 'Play the situation, not the expectation'

Yuvraj Singh, who was part of the Indian team that won the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup, urged the Harmanpreet Kaur-led women's team to make the most of a 'great opportunity to create history' in an event marking the 50-day countdown to the Women's World Cup. read more Yuvraj Singh urged the Harmanpreet Kaur-led Indian women's team to focus on the process and not worry about the results in the 2025 ICC Women's World Cup. Image: PTI/Reuters Legendary all-rounder Yuvraj Singh urged the Harmanpreet Kaur-led Indian women's team to 'play the situation' and 'experience the whole enigma' in the upcoming ICC Women's World Cup, where the Women in Blue will be aiming to end their trophy drought in global events. 'Yuvi' urges Team India to make most of 'great opportunity to create history' Yuvraj, who was part of the Indian team that won the inaugural Men's T20 World Cup in 2007 as well as the ICC World Cup four years later, urged the Indian women's team to believe in themselves while adding that 'experience and self-belief' will be crucial for them in crunch situations, including and especially in the knockouts. '(I would say) play the situation and not the expectation and be in the moment,' Yuvraj said at an event marking the 50-day countdown to the 13th edition of the Women's World Cup, which India will be co-hosting along with Sri Lanka. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'It's a great opportunity to create history. But that doesn't mean that from the start point you are thinking of winning it. You have to experience the whole enigma of it. You have to feel that you have put in the process and results will come.' 'But if you want to win the World Cup, you will be in pressure, things won't go well and that's when experience and self-belief has to take over. You have to believe that you want to win the game for your country (on) that day,' the flamboyant left-handed batter, who was the Player of the Tournament in the 2011 World Cup, added. A history of heartbreaks While they have been crowned Asian champions seven out of nine times, the Women in Blue are yet to win an ICC event – either in the ODI or T20I format. India had finished runners-up in the ODI World Cup in 2005 and in 2017, under Anjum Chopra and Mithali Raj's leadership respectively. Harmanpreet, meanwhile, had led the Indians to their only appearance in a T20 World Cup final in Melbourne in 2020.

How Canada U-19 beat Argentina U-19 after batting for just 5 balls in 50-over game

The game of cricket often witnesses many skewed match-ups and dominant wins, and one such mind-boggling result transpired when the Canada Under-19 side bowled out Argentina Under-19 for just 23 runs before chasing down the target in just five deliveries during Match 4 of the ICC Men's U19 Cricket World Cup Americas Qualifier 2025 on Sunday. Batting first, the Argentina Under-19 side was skittled out for 23 in 19.4 overs by the Canada Under-19 side at the Param Veer Sports Complex (Ground 2) in Georgia. In an astonishing show while chasing 24, all Canada took was just five deliveries to finish the game with 10 wickets and 49.1 overs remaining. Opener Dharm Patel started the innings with a single before skipper Yuvraj Samra finished things off in the next four deliveries, all for boundaries. Argentina's Franz Bur, who bowled five deliveries and gave away three extras in wides, was hit for two fours and as many sixes by Samra as Canada won with 295 balls remaining. For Argentina, not a single batter reached double figures, with as many as seven of them recording ducks in this innings, and out of the 23 runs which they scored, seven came from extras. The wrecker in chief for Canada was bowler Jagmandeep Paul, who recorded an astronomical figure of 5-3-7-6 which had three maidens. The Argentina vs. Canada match did not have Youth ODI status; otherwise, Canada would have set several records after their 10-wicket victory. In Youth ODIs, the lowest team total ever recorded is Scotland's 22 against Australia in the 2004 Under-19 World Cup. On that occasion, Australia chased down the target in just 3.5 overs, a record that still stands for the fastest chase in terms of overs remaining in the format. USA's Atlanta is hosting the ICC Men's U19 Cricket World Cup 2026 Americas regional Qualifier from 7 to 17 August, where Argentina, Bermuda and Canada are playing apart from USA. It is a double round-robin format where the top team will book their place as the Americas regional representative at the ICC Men's U19 Cricket World Cup in Namibia and Zimbabwe. Sixteen teams will contend for the ICC Men's U19 Cricket World Cup between January and February 2026 across five venues in Zimbabwe and Namibia. Teams will be split into four groups of four teams each will compete in the Group Stage, followed by the Super 6, ending in the semi-finals and Final.

Will Ashwin Join RR As Part Of Samson's Trade Deal? Ex-India Spinner Gives Big Update

Last Updated: Ashwin was signed for Rs 9.75 crore by CSK in the IPL 2025 mega auction, and in the cash-rich league this year, he played nine matches but was only able to take 7 wickets. Former Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was part of the Chennai Super Kings' team in IPL 2025. He was signed for Rs 9.75 crore by the Chennai-based franchise ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction, and in the 18th edition of the world's richest franchise cricket league, he picked up seven wickets in nine matches for them in addition to scoring 32 runs with the bat. Ashwin's performance by his own standards was a very forgettable one in the IPL this year, and as a result there were talks about CSK releasing him ahead of the IPL 2026 auction. It was reported last week that Ashwin has asked CSK to release him, and there were also reports that he could join Rajasthan Royals, for whom he played from 2022 to 2024, as part of a trade deal for Sanju Samson. When asked if he is going to be part of CSK in the IPL next year by Vimal Kumar, Ashwin said, 'Mere hath mein kuch nahi hai. Maine sirf clarity manga hai… mera abhi communication kuch hua nahi hai. Clarity toh maine bahut pehle he manga. Maine kya kiya, mera role kaisa hai, mai kaise better kar sakta hu – ye sab sawal maine already puch liya hai kyuki maine last year 9 games khela tha. In all these years of playing in the IPL, that was the first year jisme maine sirf 9 games khela. Hamesha mein har game khela tha, jo bhi franchise ke liye mai khela. So clarity meri taraf se manga maine; IPL ke time par he mang liya tha." 'Abhi tak mujhe koi information nahi hai. Classified information nahi hai ki Sanju idhar (CSK) aa raha hai aur mai udhar (RR) ja raha hu." If CSK decide to trade Samson ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction, then the Chennai-based team will have to sign him for Rs 18 crore – the price for which Samson was retained by RR ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. Or they can trade him in a player deal, but for that Ashwin won't be enough because Samson's price in IPL 2025 was Rs 18 crore, whereas Ashwin was signed for Rs 9.75 crore. CSK will have to give Rs 8.25 crore more to RR in addition to Ashwin or include players worth Rs 8.25 crore more to acquire Samson's services. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
