India captain Virat Kohli might be the best batsman of modern era, but he praised Yuvraj Singh’s “game-changing” quality after seeing his side launch their Champions Trophy title-defence with a 124-run rout of arch-rivals Pakistan at Edgbaston on Sunday. He added that in front of Yuvraj, he felt like a club batsman.
“Yuvi’s innings, I think, was the game-changing innings,” Kohli told reporters.
“I felt like a club batsman while playing alongside Yuvi, the way he was hitting the ball. He took all the pressure off me and played the way only he can.”
