Yuvraj Singh, the former Indian all-rounder is enjoying his time in lockdown to the fullest. He is quite busy these days in social media interactions with his former teammates. Moreover, the 38-year-old always comes up with a set of some difficult questions for them in the live session. Yuvraj was recently involved in a live session with Jasprit Bumrah in which the former asked some tough questions to the Indian pacer.

It is a well-known fact that Yuvraj and Bumrah share a strong bond with each other. They played long enough for Team India before the left-hander bid farewell to all forms of cricket back last year. Moreover, they were the part of the same IPL franchise in the 12th edition of the T20 tournament.

Yuvraj Singh asks some tough questions to Jasprit Bumrah

During the interaction, the duo discussed how and when they met for the first time and different topics related to cricket. In the meantime, Yuvraj Singh also conducted a Q&A round-up with Bumrah. In one of the questions, he asked the 26-year-old to pick the best spinner between Harbhajan Singh and Ravi Ashwin.” Who do you think is a better off-spinner? R Ashwin or Harbhajan Singh,” Yuvraj asked.

Responding to the question, Bumrah asked him the reason for asking controversial questions. The Indian fast bowler also added the fact that he played along with Ashwin in Team India but grown up watching Harbhajan Singh. and picked the latter as the better off-spinner. “Why so many controversial questions for me? I have played with Ash (Ashwin). But I have grown up seeing Harbhajan Singh. So Bhajju pa, it is,” Bumrah said.

Afterwards, Bumrah was asked to pick better batsman between Virat Kohli or Sachin Tendulkar. In reply to that question, the Ahmedabad born pacer said that he has not played enough cricket to rate such big cricketers. However, in the end, he took the name of Master Blaster ahead of the current Indian skipper in terms of better batsman between the two.

“Yuvi pa, look it’s been only 4 years I have been playing international cricket. I am giving you a long answer. I am not experienced enough to judge them. Virat Tendulkar or Sachin Kohli. I am in no position because they have played a lot more cricket than me.

“Paaji ki fan toh puri duniya hai, Virat khud bhi hai toh mai paaji ka nam lunga, Sachin sir (The whole world is a fan of Sachin Tendulkar, Virat himself is his fan so I will go with Sachin Tendulkar).” Bumrah said.
