00:00great moment this for this man who's making the comeback you're not seeing the new man at the
00:24crease the strike rate 148.7 with an average of 30 that's a deadly combination it's played a few
00:37domestic games and done extremely well you're rushing he's off the mark first ball great to see
00:48him back to you Raj he's gone through a very interesting period of time it's great to see
00:53him back out there in the national colors and representing India he's been in good form he's
00:57gone away and done a lot of work on his fitness really has been outstanding I'm surprised he
01:03didn't actually have a ball but he might had a bowl out there oh it's one off the edge
01:10gonna go miss field the grass thing settles for the single it's 83 for three this is going to be
01:27tied now he makes it in the end but our police very quick what do we find with just a single once again
01:39McKay the fielder it's time to beautifully the string onto the pads and you're not seeing we'll
01:50get his first boundary and that'll be a good feeling for him eight runs of the over it's 91 to 3 or just
02:01pass the keeper that was played so late by Yuvraj slow delivery you had to wait ages start when to get it
02:12past Haddon it's a good shot a good delivery lucky just kept away from bad Brad Haddon because hadn't had
02:21the time to get to it waited waited waited waited and was good enough to find the gap good bowling
02:31gets the signal
02:41it's a good delivery full and delivery he's he's a good bowler
02:52again good change of pace very good over in the circumstances 106 for four
03:01once again back of length
03:08it's one bouncer for the over
03:13straight to the fielder you're right you can see they're not they don't want to give anything in his arc
03:21they can extend the arms get that front foot out and club it over the onside or down the ground
03:27six
03:36picking up the lens so quickly you garage
03:40son of the ugly bench and three men on the boundary but he took his chance here he knows if he connects
03:46he'll clear any boundary anywhere in the world or the slower delivery you see changing the grip in
03:54the last minute you garage thing picked it up early and that flow that swing takes it over the mid-wicket fielder
04:01takes him on to 20
04:03goes again
04:08oh he's taken it no he's touched the rope brilliant effort by Watson great presence of mind but just as he caught the ball
04:20the jumping in his foot touched the rope otherwise that would have been brilliant from Shane Watson
04:27he did everything right till that foot touched the rope
04:32terrific cricket terrific shot and terrific fielding
04:36once again you're out saying
04:39flicking it off the wrist
04:42a good length delivery flicking it off the roost and have a look at Shane Watson
04:49he's got that fine more runs this is a big oval
04:53just what India wanted
04:55two sixes
04:57and a boundary
04:59and it's Yubrad Singh turning it on
05:01there's still two deliveries to go
05:04six six and four
05:08a slower delivery once again from the back of the hand
05:12and very nicely played that's why it's so dangerous
05:16and that's why when he plays well India is a much stronger team
05:19no chance of stopping that
05:2430 of 14
05:26where is this one going
05:31that was a terrific cricket just a little while ago
05:47fine shot from Yubrad and have a look at Watson he's done everything right
05:51great presence of mind pushes it back in play
05:54just when he comes in he takes the catch
05:57the leg touches that rope
05:59he's done the hard bit
06:01when it was time to finish it off
06:04it was unlucky
06:05so here goes Kultenile Yubrad on strike
06:08oh he's annoyed with himself he missed out there
06:12oh well struck
06:16that's sweet from Yubrad
06:19in the arc
06:22it was up there
06:24and just the extension of the arms
06:26he's such a good player
06:29he's trying to create the angle
06:32but an extension of the arm
06:34he knows exactly where the field is
06:38he knows exactly where he wants to hit it
06:40it's been a very good knock so far
06:43this has always had such a great bat swing
06:46wide signal
06:51magnificent
07:02makes it look so easy
07:04I mentioned about the bat swing
07:06you can see an animated look in his eyes
07:09he's looked very determined out there
07:11the crowd enjoying this
07:14since India is shifting gears
07:16and Yubrad's leading the way
07:19he'll also have to think better Kulten
07:23Nihil if he's got to pitch it up
07:25he's got to have the mid-off on the fence
07:27he cannot have the mid-off up and keep bowling after Yubrad Singh
07:31he's going to hurt him soon
07:33and he's already done it in this over
07:35eight or rather nine of three deliveries
07:37oh past extra cover
07:44should get two more
07:50eleven runs of this over already
07:53still two balls to go
07:55India very much in the hunt now
07:58it's a good delivery
08:03pitched up
08:06you're a chance
08:09well bowled
08:11didn't get it into the line
08:13where he could clear the leg
08:14and hoik him over the onside
08:16it was wide
08:17and that angle from around to the left-hander
08:19well he hits the gap brilliantly
08:2550 of the partnership comes up in 28 balls
08:30but he's just conjured this shot
08:31there was very little in the ball
08:33and he's just conjured a boundary here
08:35he manufactured that out to deep mid-wicket
08:37it was clever bowling
08:38he didn't get a chance for Yubrad to get up and under
08:40but at the power of Yubrad to go back
08:42on the back foot and find that gap at deep mid-wicket
08:45you knew he was looking for that area
08:47he's still going to target that area now
08:48now he's got to get it wide of off stump
08:55I think it's a very good over just seven from it
08:58it's 153 for 449 now needed
09:03you can see those three fielders in there
09:05shot third man backward point point
09:07and on the boundary three on the on two on the off all in front
09:12inside edge on the pad
09:14Dhoni will get the single
09:16they still need 46 from just 21
09:19they need a boundary badly
09:21well have they got more than that here
09:24the timing on that is just sumptuous
09:27in his comeback match Yubrad Singh has got to 53 from 25 balls
09:35never once giving the impression that he was away from the game
09:39not a sign of rust
09:41the smooth as ever
09:43well played Yubrad Singh bringing up his 50 with a good strike straight down the ground
09:48Yubrad Singh has got that look at his eye that determination
09:52it's a great strike just what India needed
09:54they needed that boundary then
09:59now he's got more on that field
10:01oh just oh what a gallant attempt
10:04what a gallant attempt at the moment for Shane Watson on the boundary
10:07they're going an inch or two here and there
10:11but Yubrad Singh is playing a flyer here
10:1359 from 26
10:15this might well be the big over
10:17that India needed
10:19good strike
10:20picked the slow ball
10:21deep in his crease
10:22it was just good timing
10:23and a flick of the wrist
10:26they needed a
10:27go-go gadget man there at deep square leg
10:306 foot 5 man
10:31or push the button to put the arm up
10:34oh what could have been George Bailey
10:36this is a good knock
10:38they needed that India
10:39they're back in the game now
10:4034 from 19
10:42it's game on again
10:44and a ball left
10:4615 from this Faulkner over
10:47down the leg side
10:48beats Haddon as well
10:49it just gets worse
10:53gee this always started so promisingly for Australia
10:561-1-1
10:57now it's 6-6 and 5
10:59with the ball left
11:00you're looking at 20 from the over
11:02that's a horror
11:06that's the worst case scenario for Australia
11:09really tailed
11:10it's just kept getting away from Brad Haddon
11:13four wide sort of horror after two back-to-back sixes
11:16I think the idea was good though
11:18he was 141 kilometers an hour into the pads
11:20which was the second ball that he balled in this over
11:23now they don't want the run
11:2920 from the over
11:30this might well be it
11:31173 for 4
11:3329 now needed from 3
11:34same field
11:363 inside the arc
11:46now how wide is that
11:47wide enough
11:48it's a thin line there though
11:51the full Yorker just on the edge of that line
11:53is a very good ball at this time
12:03he's plays that beautifully
12:04a wide has been followed by a boundary
12:06and I think
12:07he's been constrained to bowl that line
12:09it's an interesting line that he's bowling
12:12because he's got those three fielders behind the wicket
12:15on the offside
12:16he's erring there
12:17though the men on the boundary are on the onside
12:20so Yuvraj has been able to pick the gap really well
12:23he is playing a brilliant and exhaust riding Yuvraj's script
12:27he's worked very very hard
12:30but this is vintage Yuvraj again
12:3223 from 15 now
12:37they've got 7 from the over with a couple of balls left
12:43really looking at 10 and over so even just a couple knocked around is good enough
12:50do you always want to be ahead of the asking rate
12:52strike rate 213
12:56that is timed superbly
13:01he's hitting all these naughty sixes that are tempting the fielders in the deep
13:08but it sends this is the shot that will seal the match
13:1115 now needed from 12 it's 187 for 4 and Yuvraj is still on fire
13:15he's just making Tony's job easier
13:18there was that last for the local toss
13:20just creamed it
13:21just looking at the comparisons
13:23it's the first time India have been ahead of Australia
13:26the 18.1 overs Australia 183 for 7
13:29India 188 for 4
13:31it's the first time in the game
13:32that India have got their nose ahead at the same stage
13:35in a similar comparison
13:37have Australia got something else
13:39well not at the moment because that's pierce the
13:42most quickly populated part of the stadium
13:45India doing this in a canter at the moment
13:47Yuvraj has made 74 from 32 balls
13:52and those last 4 overs for Australia starting to hurt now
13:56with just 28 of them
13:57but at the moment for Yuvraj
13:59there are no fielders on the ground
14:00there's only spaces
14:01and he's choosing between them
14:03and he's almost saying
14:05ah okay maybe off
14:07I haven't I haven't experienced long gone for a while
14:09let me go there
14:14how do you ball to man who's batting like this
14:21Tony's charging for the first
14:22they'll stay with that
14:24I think the one thing that India did so well
14:27at the back end of Australia's inning was
14:29they weren't predictable
14:33but singles will do
14:35singles will do now
14:44like that short
14:45it only gets a single
14:46it's the first time in 3 or 4 overs
14:49that we've seen a short ball
14:55well on a day
14:56when Sachin Tendulkar announced his retirement
14:59Yuvraj Singh has changed the mood and the tempo
15:02with a lovely story all of his own
15:04this is a story of a second or third coming on a day
15:07when someone has announced he's going
15:09it's been absolutely brilliant and heartwarming
15:14to watch Yuvraj Singh bat today
15:1677 from 35 very calm unhurried
15:19this is Yuvraj Singh mark 3
15:22make no mistake he's here
15:23and he's here to play cricket for a while now
15:26out.
