Yuvraj Singh made a shocking claim, saying, 'I asked Ashish Nehra for a job at the Gujarat Titans, but...’
Former all-rounder of team India Yuvraj Singh has revealed that his bid for a position in the Gujarat Titans team was turned down. Expressing his interest in mentoring an Indian Premier League side, Yuvraj shared that he approached Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra for a job, but the request was declined.
Yuvraj, a prominent figure in past IPL seasons with stints at franchises like Punjab Kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Mumbai Indians, played 132 IPL games, amassing 2750 runs with a highest score of 83.
Yuvraj said, ‘Let’s see what opportunities I get, but my priority is my kids right now. Once they start school, I will have more time, so I can pick up the coaching. I love working with young guys, especially my state boys, and I feel that mentoring is something that I would love to do. I’m definitely looking to be part of one of the IPL teams.’
Despite the setback with the Gujarat Titans, Yuvraj remains optimistic about contributing to cricket in the coming years. He expressed his desire to give back to the game and help young players improve their skills. Yuvraj also hinted at a potential mentorship role for the Indian cricket team to prepare players mentally for future challenges.
