Yuvraj Singh played a key role in Abhishek Sharma's rise, says Yograj Singh, revealing the former all-rounder mentored him through tough times. Abhishek, now a Grade C BCCI contract holder, was once steered away from distractions like late-night parties and girlfriends by Yuvraj. Yograj recounted how Yuvraj identified Abhishek's talent early, despite PCA initially labeling him a bowler. He compared Abhishek’s transformation under Yuvraj’s guidance to that of Shubman Gill, crediting Yuvraj’s strict discipline and support. “A diamond in the hands of a diamond becomes Kohinoor,” Yograj said, praising Yuvraj’s influence on young cricketers.
