Yuvraj is in the form of his life: Warner

Warner was all praise for Yuvraj, who played a swashbuckling 62-run knock to help Sunrisers beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by 35 runs in the IPL 2017 opener here on Wednesday. 

“That’s the Yuvi (Yuvraj Singh) that I am used to watching on TV. It was superb stroke and clean hitting play from him, he backed himself. That’s the way that we know he can play and that’s the way that we want him to keep playing,” Warner said at the post match press conference. “If he can do that another five or six times in the tournament we will easily make the final and can also win,” he added. 

Warner hailed the entire Sunrisers team for putting up a fantastic performance. “A great start. We take lot of confidence from the win. Before the game we had some pressure because we are defending champions. But the way we came out and played it was fantastic. Our middle-order and top-order were fantastic. 200 on this wicket was a good score,” said the Sunrisers captain.
