After the 3-1 defeat in the Test series against Australia, the players of Team India are being cursed fiercely. Especially captain Rohit Sharma and senior player Virat Kohli are the target of fans. But there is also a legend who stands with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma even in such bad times. We are talking about Yuvraj Singh who has defended these two legends of Team India. Yuvraj Singh said that it is easy to curse your players in difficult times but it is very difficult to stand with them. Yuvraj has done this difficult task. Yuvraj showed the mirror to those who are cursing Team India.

What did Yuvraj say on Team India's defeat?

Yuvraj Singh said, 'If I look at the last 5-6 years, Team India won two consecutive Test series in Australia. I don't remember which team would have won two consecutive Test series in Australia. We are speaking very badly about our great players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, but we forget what they have achieved in the past. Both of them are one of the great players of the present era. Yes, we lost this time but Virat and Rohit are facing more problems than us. Yuvraj further said, 'I hope India will counterattack. Gautam Gambhir as a coach, Ajit Agarkar as a selector, Virat Rohit Bumrah are among the selected people whose mind works very fast. He has to decide how the future of Team India will improve.

'The defeat against New Zealand, not Australia, was a big shock'

Yuvraj Singh further said, 'Losing a series against New Zealand at home is not acceptable. Still, we accept that we had defeated Australia in the last two series and now we have lost. But losing 3-0 at home was a big blow.

Rohit-Virat are my family- Yuvraj

When Yuvraj Singh was asked what Team India should do next, he said, 'I am not in a position to tell what the team needs to do right. The amount of cricket I have played. These people have played more cricket than me. When players are not performing, it is easy to criticize them, difficult to support. My job is to support my friends and brothers. For me they are my family.
