Yuvraj has said that the bowlers are finding it right to bowl in the shortest formats of the game and gained substantial progress from their performances.

He also opened upon his retirement plans. “I want to go when I feel it is the right time to go; when I feel I have done my best and I could not have done any more than this. The motivation is definitely to play for India. I feel two or three IPLs are left in me.”
