India’s cricket legend Yuvraj Singh has offered a significant advice to two rising stars Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma. He asked the duo to take up golf during the Indian Premier League. The former World Cup winning member believes that this could actually help sharpen their cricketing edge.
According to Yuvraj Singh, the cricketers today are bound by hectic schedules and don’t get any downtime. So, IPL window could be the ideal opportunity for them to explore some hobbies which will also help them refresh.
“I have told them to play golf and I encourage them to play. It’s very hard to find time, but I think the IPL is a good time for them to actually find time and hit some balls,” Yuvraj said at an event.
“It’s up to them. Now they are superstars of the game and they have to decide what’s going to help them be better. If golf can be something, then they have to decide that. But I encourage all athletes to play golf. I think it’s a great way to unwind and it’s great for the mind.”

“I feel that any sport that helps you relax is going to be less taxing on the body and more fruitful for the mind. If you see the culture of golf in Australia, South Africa, England—majority of the best cricketers have played golf from a very young age. But how can you recover and be mentally fresh for a game? So I just feel it’s not just cricket. For any sportsperson in the world, they should play golf because eventually it will bring out the best in them in their sport,” he added.
