Statements By Yograj Singh On Abhishek Sharma And Arjun Tendulkar

Yograj Singh Criticizes Abhishek Sharma’s Approach

  • Yograj Singh expressed his worries about Abhishek Sharma because of his present cricket playing method. 
  • He required Abhishek to practice greater discipline because he needed to concentrate entirely on his athletic work. He advised him to reduce distractions which included creating social media content such as reels.

Yograj explained that a batter must not try to attack every delivery. He said that effective batting requires a mix of shots:

  • Players need to use defensive techniques during necessary moments
  • Batters should use singles and doubles to develop their innings
  • Players need to use boundary shots during critical moments

He added that trying to hit every ball for a six can lead to failure. He emphasized that consistency depends on focus and control.

Yograj also mentioned that he had personally advised Abhishek several times. He believes that young players should follow a strict routine which includes

  • Early sleep and wake schedule
  • Regular practice sessions
  • Facing a high number of deliveries in training

He expressed concern that lack of focus may affect performance. He also referred to Shubman Gill while discussing the importance of mental discipline.

Response to Comments on Arjun Tendulkar

  • Yograj Singh also reacted to remarks made by Ravichandran Ashwin about Arjun Tendulkar.
  • Ashwin had suggested that Arjun might not secure a place in the playing XI after his move from Mumbai Indians to Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League.
  • Yograj disagreed with this view. He said that public comments about a player’s ability should be made carefully.

He also shared his opinion on Arjun’s role:

  • Arjun should focus more on batting
  • He has the ability to score runs with power
  • He can hit boundaries and sixes effectively

Yograj mentioned that he had earlier communicated this view to coaches. He stated that with proper guidance, Arjun can improve as a batter.
