When a Sourav Ganguly prank gave debutant Yuvraj Singh sleepless night
Yuvraj Singh has revealed how his then skipper Sourav Ganguly spooked him so much by pulling a prank the night before his debut at the 2000 ICC Knockout tournament that he could not sleep the whole night. An 18-year-old Yuvraj dominated the Australian attack led by the likes of Glenn McGrath and Brett Lee as his 80-ball 84, filled with superb drives and flicks, led India to 265/9. The score proved too much for the Australians as they were bowled out for 245, with India winning the ICC Knockout quarterfinal in Nairobi on October 7, 2000.
