Mirpur: In all praise for Yuvraj Singh for his outstanding knock against Australia on Sunday, Indian skipper MS Dhoni said that he was happy to see the left-hander back among runs.
"We all know what kind of a player Yuvi is. I think this format ideally suits for getting back into form. He decided to give himself time to play himself in. In the middle overs he wasn't able to rotate, but in the end overs we knew the firepower we had,” Dhoni said, adding that opening with Rahane instead of Shikhar Dhawan will help both ahane and Dhawan.

“Rahane opens in difficult conditions. This also gives Shikhar some free time to think about his game so both players will benefit,” he said, adding that today there was no dew at all.

“We need a day's rest. Soccer is something the boys really love so we might come back and play. We play so much cricket all round the year so it's difficult to get the guys to come out and train all the time so soccer is something they enjoy to get fit," Dhoni added.

Meanwhile, unhappy with his team’s performance, George Bailey said: "I don't think we've been fans of the way we've been playing. We haven’t shown game sense on a number of occasions. Hopefully we can play well against the host nation."
