I was very eager to have it in the team, just like Dhoni, because of the experience it brought to the group. And to look at the World Cup that it ended up,” said Kirsten to Rediff.com.

“I always liked Yuvraj. We had this kind of good relationship where he used to frustrate me sometimes, but I just liked him. He was good. I just want him to mark races all the time because when I watch him beat, it’s as incredible to watch. But there was a trip he had to walk and go to Paddy (Upton).”The mental packaging and the strategic leadership coach Paddy Upton worked a lot with Yuvraj to prepare him for the tournament, which preceded his battle against cancer.“Paddy did a lot of work with Yuvi to prepare him for this World Cup. Yuvi himself made key decisions to prepare and prepare for the World Cup,” he added.After having experienced a period of calm in 2010, Yuvraj delivered an exceptional performance in the World Cup, marking 362 points with a strike rate of more than 86 and taking 15 counters.Its remarkable achievements included a century against the Antilles in Chennai and a transported transport with five counters and half a century against Ireland.The crucial half-century of Yuvraj in Ahmedabad helped to eliminate the champions in title Australia in the quarterfinals.He continued his versatile performance by taking two counters at each direct elimination match.The tournament ended with Yuvraj at the end of the non-attackers while Dhoni struck the six winners against Sri Lanka in the final in Mumbai.
