    'He Took Indian Cricket To A Different Level': Yuvraj Reflects On Gary's Kirsten Impact On India’s Rise

    ICC Cricket World Cup: Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has highlighted the transformative impact of former head coach Gary Kirsten on Indian cricket, recalling how his man-management and belief in players played a defining role in the team’s success between 2008 and 2011.

    Speaking to former England captain Michael Vaughan on India’s white-ball growth during Kirsten’s tenure from 2008-2011, Yuvraj reflected on the South African’s arrival at a crucial phase, when India were building towards a period of sustained dominance across formats.

    “I think Gary Kirsten was a big influence in that moment. Gary was a good man. We needed a good guy. That's all we wanted. Someone who said, ‘Guys, let's be one on the park. Let's be together.’ And Gary was very hardworking,” Yuvraj said in a video shared by 'Stick to Cricket' podcast on Monday.
