Yuvraj Singh Calls For 'Better Thinking' From This India Star After Horror Start In Chase vs Australia

The Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team was successful in starting their ODI Cricket World Cup campaign on a winning not in Chennai on Sunday. India won the match by six wickets with more than eight overs to spare. However, the scoreboard does not tell the full story. Despite India dismissing Australia for a below-par 199 in the Cricket World Cup match, the progress was not smooth. India's chase started on a very shocking note as Rohit Sharma (0), Ishan Kishan (0) and Shreyas Iyer (0) went back to the pavilion by the second over.

Yuvraj Singh, who was part of the Indian cricket teams that won the 2007 T20 Cricket World Cup and 2011 ODI Cricket World Cup, was unhappy with Shreyas Iyer's performance at the No. 4 slot.

"No 4 batsman has to absorb the pressure !! Need better thinking from @ShreyasIyer15 when team is trying to rebuild their innings! Still don't understand why @klrahul is not batting at no 4 ! After scoring a 100 against Pakistan ! Dropping @imVkohli might cost australia big time , don't drop the king cause he can take the game away ?? .  Game on !! #IndiaVsAus #WorldCup2023," Yuvraj Singh wrote on x (Twitter).

Talking about the math, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul hit defiant knocks to lift India from a perilous three down for two runs to a six-wicket win over Australia in their opening Cricket World Cup match on Sunday.

Chasing a tricky target of 200, India lost three batsmen, who all failed to score, inside two overs before Kohli (85)
