Main point:

Yuvraj Singh has advised Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma to play golf with cricket. He said that playing golf improves mental balance and reduces pressure. Yuvraj himself is also associated with the IGPL and considers golf necessary for the player.

Delhi: If the names of Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma are taken in batting, then it is clear that two of the best talents of the future of Indian cricket are being talked about. While Shubman has collected his coin as an all format batsman, Abhishek is famous for his hitting in white ball cricket. Both have more equality. Not only the two are strong friends among themselves, Yuvraj Singh contributes to both cricket talent. In this context, a new thing that Yuvraj Singh told is to be noted. Yuvraj says, “I have asked him to play golf.” Now what will happen by playing his cricket and playing golf in improving?

Yuvraj gave the opinion of playing golf to Shubman-Abhishek

Yuvraj Singh advocates that instead of thinking about the match in his spare time during the tournament/series, play another game. On this, he chose golf. This golf love of Yuvraj is also the inspiration of someone. Kapil Dev brought him in golf. Kapil Dev said about Yuvraj many times that if he had played golf from the beginning of his career, he would have scored 3000 runs in Tests. Therefore, the opportunity that Yuvraj himself missed (because then there was no one to tell him about it) Now he wants Shubman and Abhishek to take advantage of his advice.

Yuvraj inaugurated the Indian Golf Premier League (IGPL) in Delhi recently and asked everyone to play golf on the occasion. For cricketers, they call golf ‘rest’ and also helping to focus on sports. Kapil Dev has also said about himself that if he had played golf as an active cricketer, he could have scored at least 2000 runs.

Old relationship between golf and cricket

Incidentally, cricketer in India was far behind in taking interest in golf but now it is gaining momentum. In particular, Kapil Dev started playing golf after retiring from cricket, and also tried to make a golf culture. That is why the count of golf playing cricketers is now increasing. Most of the best cricketers in Australia, South Africa and England have been playing golf from a young age. Even during many athletes of these countries, golf courses go during the tournament because it inspires the nervousness before a big match and inspires the right match. That is why they say that whenever time is found, it is not necessary to do cricket practice. Playing golf will also make cricket better.

According to Yuvraj Singh, all these things are not just for cricketers, ‘I think it is not just for cricket. Any player playing any game in the world should play golf because it will bring their best performance in their game in the last.

By the way, let us tell you that two -time Cricket World Cup winner Yuvraj himself is one of the owners of a team playing in IGPL and also the brand ambassador of this league.
