    T20 WC: After Swashbuckling Century, Canada’s Samra Relishes Training Time Under Jwala Singh

    T20 World Cup: Yuvraj Samra is not the type to dwell on yesterday's headlines. Just days after the 19-year-old smashed New Zealand's bowlers all over the park with a breathtaking 110 off 65 balls for Canada at the Men’s T20 World Cup in Chennai, Canada's newest cricket sensation didn’t immediately fly back to his hometown, Toronto.

    Instead, Samra, the youngest batter and first from the Associate Nations to score a century in the T20 World Cup, has been sweating it out and playing on different pitches in Mumbai since February 21 under the watchful eyes of Jwala Singh, the Mumbai-based coach who nurtured India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal. Singh first spotted Samra’s talent on a video call organised by the latter’s father, Baljit.

    “When I saw him online with his father a few years back, I told my staff that he is too good and doesn't need an online session. Instead, he needs more of an offline session. His bat was coming very straight, his hands are so strong, and when I saw him playing against New Zealand, the way he smashed all those world-class bowlers, it showed that he has the right temperament to dominate at the international level as well," Singh told IANS on a virtual call on Tuesday.
