Hyderabad: After a pretty ordinary comeback in T20 cricket, Yuvraj has squashed all doubts lingering about his fitness in the longer version of the game with a buoyant 208 off 241 that included 33 fours and three huge sixes.

His knock has for sure silenced all the cynics and through the knock Yuvraj made a statement which clearly says be it T20 or Tests, he is game for all the formats.

His double century has put his North Zone in a commanding position against the Central Zone in Duleep Trophy semifinals.

Delighted with his stupendous performance that showed he is fit for any format, Yuvraj Singh said that his knock wasn’t to prove anyone wrong.

"I don't really think of what the critics say. If I did, I would not be able to concentrate on my game. I am not here to prove anyone wrong. I just do my job. I am only trying to get back into the groove. I just want to enjoy my game and have some fun in the middle," said Yuvraj, adding that he was happy that he batted for so long (333 minutes to be precise).

"I am very happy to get a double hundred. I feel happy about the way my body kept on going. I was enjoying my batting till the afternoon. I was tired at the end of the day's play on Sunday, which was understandable. I'm sure if we qualify for the final, I will have more time to bat and get better. I am sure the more I play, the fitter I will become," Yuvraj said, adding that he wasn’t thinking about the England series but was taking it one match at a time.

"At this point of time, I don't want to look too far ahead. For me, it is important that I take one match at a time. If I am fit enough and doing well, then it is not my call. I just want to go there, spend time at the crease and get my body fit for the four-day or five-day game." said Yuvraj.
