Kris Srikkanth has given him his vote of confidence. T20 World Cup saw him smack 6×6. Dada, as a term, is used variedly in India. For the Bengalis it means elder brother. In Indian slang it means a gangster. In the Hindi language, Dada is a grandfather.

For England, after Rajkot and Indore, he is all of the above. Yuvraj Singh is officially England cricket team’s Dada (gangsta/grand-daddy). He won India the Natwest Trophy once. He won India a crucial match in the Twenty20 World Cup. Put one Yuvi against 11 English players, and they would still end up losing miserably. OK, maybe I exaggerated a bit. But on current events you can’t blame me.

ODI 1. Yuvraj smashes 138 not out from only 78 balls.
ODI 2. Yuvraj smashes 118 from 122 balls and then takes 4 for 28 from 10 overs.

2 matches. 2 centuries. 2 man of the match awards. As the old Indian saying goes “Bhagwan deta hai to chhapad phad ke deta hai“. Ie: When God gives he gives in bucket loads.

Is he the new Dada? I will leave that for you to decide.
