Abhishek Sharma’s mentor and former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh took a sly dig at the left-hander’s record-breaking outing in Wellington, which helped India beat New Zealand by six wickets in the third T20I. Abhishek smashed his fourth T20I hundred, first against New Zealand and the joint-second fastest among Indians in 35 balls. &nbsp;While he made headlines all over for his blistering knock that bamboozled the Kiwis, Yuvraj shared a message for him on his X handle, writing that despite such heroics, Abhishek still couldn’t break his 12-ball fifty record. Yuvraj slammed the quickest T20I fifty during the 2007 T20 World Cup game against England, in which he hit six sixes in an over off Stuart Broad. &nbsp;Praising the opening partnership (of 133 between Sooryavanshi and Abhishek), Yuvraj wrote, “You still can’t get 50 of 12 can you 😜 @OfficialAbhi04! Looks like two left-handers batting in their backyard!”

Replying to his mentor’s message during the post-match presentation, Abhishek said, “I mean, I've said this before as well. I don't know what cricket he was playing back at that time, but it's not that easy at all. And I would say if any batter wants to go there and bat like that, it's not easy at all. You can't just go and score 50 off 12 balls. It just happens once in a while.”&nbsp;Also read| <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ind-vs-nz-3rd-t20i-abhishek-sharma-113-india-win-series-1793096986294">Abhishek Sharma’s 113 fires India to T20I series win against New Zealand in Wellington</a> &nbsp;Abhishek and Sooryavanshi ran riot during the Wellington T20I run chase, whacking 118 runs in the first six overs – a world record. The two left-handers dismantled the attack from the word go. While Sooryavanshi fell five shy of his third T20I fifty, his opening partner smashed his second hundred in this format in two months, and his first since registering the quickest in 30 balls against Afghanistan in September. &nbsp;Earlier, the two openers also registered 26 runs to start the innings, creating a record for the most runs scored in the first over by a Test-playing nation.<h3>Yuvraj’s 2nd Message for Indian Openers</h3>Yuvraj, who recently joined Delhi Capitals as their new batting coach, again took to his social media handle to post another message for the two batters. &nbsp;This time he praised Abhishek, saying, “And I can’t make 100 of 30 or 34 balls 😜 Well played sir @OfficialAbhi04! Great innings aur apne single bhi le liye 🤷🏻‍♂️ Good stuff on the other end by #VaibhavSooryavanshi! Devastating combination! Hats off to @IamSanjuSamson, playing at no. 3 as a complete team man! Well-bowled by our bowlers to keep the score under 200! Great series win 👌 congratulations Team India 🇮🇳”

Former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has joined Delhi Capitals (DC) as the assistant and batting coach ahead of IPL 2027, the franchise officially confirmed on Tuesday (Oct 13). Having played for DC in IPL 2015, when the franchise bought him for INR 15 crore - making him the highest-paid IPL player at that time - Yuvraj is back with the franchise, this time in a different capacity.

Widely known for privately coaching Punjab batters Abhishek Sharma and Prabhsimran Singh, Yuvraj’s latest appointment is his first formal assignment.

"Yuvi is one of Indian cricket's greatest match-winners and someone who has played a pivotal role in mentoring many of the brightest young talents in Indian cricket today. His experience, winning mindset, and ability to connect with players will be invaluable to our squad."&nbsp;Expressing excitement about joining in his new role, Yuvraj said, “I have an old association with the franchise and know the owners well, which makes this a special opportunity for me. I'm also looking forward to teaming up with Dada, this time as coaches. Coaching is something I am truly passionate about, and I cannot wait to get started with this extremely talented squad.”<h2>DC in safe hands after Yuvraj’s appointment</h2>While Yuvraj-trained Abhishek broke into the Indian team and wreaked havoc since his T20I debut two years ago, Prabhsimran Singh has emerged as a dangerous batter for Punjab Kings in the IPL.&nbsp;Abhishek is second in the ICC T20I batting rankings and is known for amassing quick runs for fun in international cricket. Following a submissive start to his IPL and domestic career, Abhishek emerged as the best Indian opener since the 2024 T20 World Cup. His exploits saw him break several T20I batting records and helped India defend their T20 crown earlier this year.&nbsp;Elsewhere, Prabhsimran Singh was instrumental in guiding PBKS to its second IPL final in 2025, which they lost to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The right-hander has scored over 1,000 IPL runs in the past two editions, including 10 fifties and a career strike rate of over 156.&nbsp;Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals are yet to win an IPL title, having reached the final just once (in 2020) in 18 years of this tournament's history.

The ODI World Cup 2027 is just a little over a year away, and former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh wants a set of players fixed without big changes at the last moment. India last won the ODI World Cup in 2011, where Yuvraj was named Player of the Series (POTS) for scoring 362 runs and taking 15 wickets. The 44-year-old former all-rounder also wants match-winners to be picked instead of multi-skill players. India start their road to the ODI World Cup 2027 with a three-ODI series at home against the West Indies from September 27.<h2>Yuvraj warns about massive changes ahead of ODI World Cup 2027</h2>"Every time India have faltered is when they've made some massive changes at the last moment or in the tournament. So I think it's important that we stick to a team that we believe can lift the 2027 World Cup and stick by those guys whether they fail or succeed till that moment.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are all set to resume their rivalry against Mumbai Indians (MI) as they take on their arch-rivals for the first meeting of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2026) season on Thursday (April 23). Playing at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, the contest will showcase some of the greats of the game. However, the focus will also be on young players who are trying to make a mark on the biggest stage of all.&nbsp;One of the names is CSK’s Fearless prodigy Prashant Veer, who became the highest-paid non-capped IPL player from India. The five-time champions paid a whopping INR 14.20 crore during the IPL 2026 auction, making him one of the highest-paid players in the competition’s history. Speaking on the JioStar show, ‘Dream On,’ Prashant opened up on his journey and where his dream began.&nbsp;ALSO READ | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/from-cameron-green-to-liam-livingstone-5-most-expensive-players-in-ipl-2026-auctions-matheesha-pathirana-kartik-sharma-prashant-veer-1774031148132">From Cameron Green to Liam Livingstone, 5 most expensive players in IPL 2026 auctions</a>&nbsp;Question: Prashant, tell us about your cricket journey. How did it start? At what age did it start? And how did you move forward?I have been playing cricket since 2017. My cricket journey started in Amethi, my hometown. I played cricket there for a few days. Then I left Amethi and came to Saharanpur. I started playing cricket there. Then I practiced with SPBA Cricket Academy's Rajiv Goyal for 6-7 years. I have been playing cricket since 2017. Everyone in the village is fond of tennis balls.&nbsp;Question: Your batting is very aggressive. There is a lot of attacking. Tell us something about that.

Yuvraj Singh is regarded as one of India’s greatest cricketers and played a crucial role in India’s T20 World Cup triumph in 2007 and the ODI World Cup win in 2011. He was also named Player of the Tournament in 2011 under captain MS Dhoni. However, after battling cancer, his career never returned to the same level and in June 2019, he retired from international cricket after missing out on selection for the World Cup squad. Yuvraj last played for India in an ODI against West Indies in June 2017 and after that, he was not selected again. Nearly seven years after retiring, he has now spoken openly about why he decided to quit and expressed that he felt he was no longer respected or supported, which made him step away from the game.&nbsp;Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ex-india-men-s-hockey-team-coach-michael-nobbs-passes-away-after-prolonged-illness-1769706080651">Ex-India hockey team coach Michael Nobbs passes away after prolonged illness</a>&nbsp;While speaking on a podcast with former tennis player Sania Mirza, Yuvraj shared that he kept asking himself why he was playing when he was not enjoying it. He felt mentally and physically exhausted and believed he could not give more. Once he stopped playing, he finally felt like himself again.&nbsp;"I was not enjoying my game. I had a feeling that why am I playing cricket when I'm not enjoying it? I was not feeling supported. I was not feeling respected," Yuvraj said.&nbsp;"And I felt, why do I need to do this when I don't have this? Why am I lingering on to something that I'm not enjoying? Why do I need to play? To prove what? I can't do more than this, mentally or physically, and it was hurting me.

The left-armer knows his strengths and weaknesses, having openly talked about them earlier during this series, including having a limited range of shots. Despite that, he has managed to scale heights in this trending format, making everyone proud, including Yuvraj, who took to his social media handle (X) to take a sly dig at him while expressing pride over his performance. &nbsp;“Still can’t get a 50 off 12 balls, can you? 🤪 Well played - keep going strong! 💪🏻 @OfficialAbhi04 #IndVSNz,” Yuvraj wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Meanwhile, sharing his thoughts on his 14-ball fifty, the fastest for India in this series, Abhishek said, “That's what my team wants from me, and I just want to execute all the time. But obviously, it's not easy to do it every time, but I think it's all about mental as well and the atmosphere you get around your dressing room as well. &nbsp;Speaking on breaking Yuvraj’s 12-ball fifty record, the Indian opener said it’s almost impossible (for anyone) to do so. &nbsp;“That's more than impossible for anyone (to break Yuvraj's fastest T20 fifty record), but still, you never know. Any batsman could do it because I think all the batters have been batting really well in this series as well, and going forward, it's going to be fun,” Abhishek said. &nbsp;In Guwahati, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and elected to field first. Restricting the Kiwis to 153 for nine in the first innings, the hosts gave themselves a strong chance to seal the series, which they eventually did (3-0). &nbsp;After India lost opener Sanju Samson early for the second game running, Abhishek and Ishan Kishan went berserk, stitching a 50-plus stand inside four overs. Kishan departed next on a 13-ball 28, before Suryakumar and Abhishek added 102 for the third wicket to see India home with 10 overs and eight wickets remaining.
