Only this time,the red cherry didnt come hurtling towards him. And he didnt hit it back with the force you normally associate with his bat. Yuvraj Singh versus Zorawar Singh,brother versus brother and that too in his own backyard,the city where Yuvraj learnt his first moves in the game. Just a day ahead of the time the national selectors sit to decide his fate in the India-Australia series,Yuvraj was practising with his Air India team in the JP Atray Memorial tournament; and just when thesession was winding up to a close,Zorawar,clad in his elder brothers Indian tee,came and started bowling gentle off spinners to Yuvi paaji,my role model. Once the session between the two got over,Zorawar spoke: I love being with him when he is not touring and he wanted me to come with him for the practice today. I like going for long drives with him,listening to music and discussing movies with him. I feel so proud of him whenever he is representing India¿ When he hit those six sixes in an over in South Africa (2007),I almost had tears in my eyes. Zorawar is eight years younger to Yuvraj,and has managed to keep himself away from the prying eyes of the media for long. Like his brother,he too was pushed by father Yograj Singh to pursue cricket,but he lost interest early. Yuvraj then spoke to Newsline and said jokingly,It is not everyday that he accompanies me to practice sessions,but today I insisted because I want him to lose weight and get back in shape. Yuvraj also knows what awaits him this season. Yuvraj has been having a tough time with injuries of late,and after making a comeback into the test team in Sri Lanka,a neck injury put him on the backfoot and he could play in just one match. On Sunday,Yuvraj appeared fitter: It was unfortunate that I was injured and then fell to dengue in Sri Lanka. Thankfully,I am feeling fit now and it will be good to have some games during the JP Atray tournament. It will be good to score a few runs in the matches.
