Yuvraj Singh Urges Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma to Take Up Golf

At the IGPL launch, the former all-rounder described golf as a low-impact reset best fitted into the IPL window.

Overview

  • Speaking as an IGPL co-owner and mentor, Yuvraj said he has told Gill and Abhishek to play golf to unwind and stay mentally fresh.
  • He acknowledged time pressures in the calendar but identified the IPL as a practical period for the players to work on their swings.
  • Reflecting on his own career, Yuvraj asserted he might have added about 3,000 international runs had he adopted golf earlier.
  • He pointed to Australia, South Africa and England, noting many top cricketers there take up golf young and use it during tours.
  • Coverage reports no indication yet that Gill or Abhishek will change routines as India readies for the Asia Cup in the UAE next week.
