Yuvraj Singh admits that England is a lucky place for him

India’s World Cup hero, Yuvraj Singh recently had an interactive session on his official Twitter handle, where he answered the questions from his fans.

Yuvraj was a vital cog in India lifting the World T20 Cup 2007 in South Africa and the World Cup 2011. During the early stages of his career, he played a handy knock during the 2002 NatWest series final in England as India successfully chased 326 for victory.

However, the highlight of his career came in the T20I match against England in the T20 World Cup 2007, when he hit Stuart Broad for 6 sixes in an over as India beat England by 18 runs in the match. He also recorded the fastest fifty in T20 internationals in the match as he reached the landmark in 12 deliveries.

During the interaction someone pointed out that England has always turned out to be lucky for him considering the six sixes against England, his performance in the Natwest series, taking his good strike-rate in England into consideration and his fiancee — Hazel Keech is also from England.

“@YUVSTRONG12 @TwitterIndia Seems England is lucky for u. Natwest, Six sixes, good SR in ODI vs eng and a lady love?#DoltAgain #AskYuvi,” the tweet read.

Yuvraj responded saying that it is a “very interesting” and “very smart” question, and said that England is definitely a lucky place for him.

There was another question from a fan who asked him to name the player he would like to play with/against but couldn’t. Yuvraj in reply said that he would like to play against everyone but he would want to play with the former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting.
