Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh is one of the best all-rounders India has ever produced. He has been an instrumental player for the Indian cricket team in both T20 World Cup 2007 and 2011 World Cup. 

In his 25 years of cricketing career, Yuvraj Singh gave some splendid performances making the team win at crucial matches. Yuvraj bid a farewell to the gentleman’s game last year. He last played for Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League 2019.

Talking about the second innings of his career, Yuvraj Singh revealed that he is more inclined towards coaching than commentary. In an Instagram live chat with former Indian teammate Mohammad Kaif, Yuvraj admitted that he can’t pursue a commentary role on a full-time basis. He further added that he would love to be a commentator for specific ICC matches but in the long run, he wishes to handle the job of a coach. 

I will enjoy coaching more: Yuvraj Singh

During the live session with Mohammad Kaif, Yuvraj told that he can’t tolerate some people in the commentary box. Therefore, doing commentary for a full-time basis is out of the question for him. 

The 38-year-old revealed, “You can get along with people. I can’t tolerate some people in the commentary box (laughs). It really depends if a time comes when I want to commentate, I will. I want to do ICC events – T20 World Cup, ICC ODI World Cup. I don’t think I can do commentary all the time. I don’t have the patience to sit and talk about cricket all the time again. I won’t be able to do it,”

The legend also spoke about the criticism faced by the young players from the commentators. 

Yuvraj said, “The player on the field knows what pressure he is facing. I don’t like criticizing young players. I have been in that place how it feels when people talk about you. This is why I don’t want to be a commentator. It is also necessary to tell youngsters what mistakes they are making. But we should strike a balance.”

Yuvraj is not planning to take up a role immediately as he wishes to enjoy his retirement and relax for a while. 

“I will enjoy coaching more than commentary. Don’t think commentary will be my full-time role. Since retirement, it’s been almost a year. I have played cricket for 25-30 years. I want to take a break and then take a call.”, exclaimed Yuvraj Singh.
