IPL 2020: Very Special Player In The Making - Yuvraj Singh Heaps High Praise On Ishan Kishan

Former India all-rounder, Yuvraj Singh showered praises for Ishan Kishan after a stellar IPL 2020 for the youngster. He also lauds Rohit Sharma for his captain’s knock in the final.

Mumbai Indians on Tuesday won their fifth IPL title, and second in a row, by defeating Delhi Capitals by 5 wickets. Chasing 157, MI got a blazing start from Quinton de Kock and Rohit Sharma.

The MI skipper scored 68 runs from 51 balls and put MI on the brink of victory. Ishan Kishan remained unbeaten on 33 off 19 balls, not giving any chance for Delhi to make a comeback in the game.

Ishan Kishan had a phenomenal season for Mumbai Indians. Replacing the injured Saurabh Tiwary in the team, Kishan didn’t put a foot wrong. The left-hander ended the season as Mumbai’s highest scorer amassing 516 runs at an average of 57 and a strike rate of 145 with four half-centuries. He also smashed 30 sixes- the most by any batsman in the IPL 2020.

Yuvraj Singh took to Twitter to congratulate Mumbai Indians for their historic fifth IPL title. He said MI was the best team in the tournament by far. The former all-rounder applauded Rohit Sharma for a captain’s knock in the IPL final. Yuvraj, who played for the Delhi franchise in 2015, felt sad for Delhi Capitals who had an outstanding tournament but couldn’t clear the last hurdle.

The 2011 World Cup winner also praised Ishan Kishan, and Yuvraj believes that the 22-year-old is a bright prospect for the future. Yuvraj wrote that Kishan is a very special player in the making.

Yuvraj Singh wrote on Twitter, “Congratulations @mipaltan by far the best team in the #ipl, @ImRo45 captains knock in the final! Heart goes out to @DelhiCapitals had an outstanding tournament! @ishankishan51 special very special player in the making.”

Yuvraj Singh was part of the Mumbai Indians franchise in their title-winning campaign in 2019. After a disappointing season, all hopes of a comeback in the national team were diminished, Yuvraj announced his retirement last year.

Here is Yuvraj Singh’s tweet:
