Former India batsman Yuvraj Singh took a dig at the team management of his time for ignoring him and not giving opportunities to play Test cricket regularly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Probably next life! When I'm not 12th man for 7 years [emoticon: zany face]," tweeted Yuvraj Singh in response to a tweet posted by a cricket website that asked its followers to name a player who they wished should have played more Tests.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Singh, a left-handed batsman and among the cleanest hitters of the cricket ball in Indian cricket, played 40 Tests over a period of nine years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Known more for his exploits in limited-overs cricket, Yuvraj scored 1900 Test runs at an average of 33.92 in a format where he was played intermittently. He scored three centuries and 11 half-centuries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He made a roaring start to his Test career, scoring a half-century and a century (59 & 112 against Pakistan) in his first three innings. In his fourth innings, also against Pakistan, he made 47.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He got to play 15 Tests intermittently over the next three and a half years, rarely getting a long stretch. He got scores of 75 and 77 against Sri Lanka and 122 against Pakistan during this phase.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He then scored 169 again against Pakistan in Bengaluru in December, 2007.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After that he scored a few half-centuries in the remaining Test matches he played, including an unbeaten 85 against England in the 2008 Chennai Test in which India chased a 387-run target in fourth innings.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2021\/05\/yuvraj-singh-test.jpg", "alt_img": "Cricket Image for Yuvraj Singh Upset At Not Getting Regular Chances In Test Cricket", "alt_title": "Yuvraj Singh Upset At Not Getting Regular Chances In Test Cricket", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "Yuvraj Singh Upset At Not Getting Regular Chances In Test Cricket On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Former India batsman Yuvraj Singh took a dig at the team management of his time for ignoring him and not giving opportunities to play Test cricket regularly. \"Probably next life!
