Is this the reason for Yuvi downfall

Nearly 200 Twenty20 Internationals, only 3 century made. come down to Indian Premier League (a breakthrough TV success non International tournament) which has had over 200 games in three installments yet only 5 batsmen have gone on to touch three figure score.

Fact : 4 of above mentioned centurions batted as openers on those days.

Reason is simple := T20, 20 over per side cricket match, is little too less for batsman to construct a century brick by brick.. he has to get lucky!


Lets come down a level to make competition tougher = the half centuries (50s or fifty). another land mark we see batters raising their bat to and fans applauding. On an average, a Twenty20 Internationals see 2 fifties scored and is generally enough for better of the two to win man of the match.

Lets raise a level now.. the fastest half century in Twenty20 International match := Yuvraj Singh, took just 12 balls to complete his fifty, fours and 7 sixes (6 of the in one over from Stuart Broad) in his final score of 58 against England on 19 September 2007 in Twenty20 World cup in South Africa. Yuvraj again features in the list at 4th position with a 20 ball century against the Australians in semi-final of same tournament which India won.

they all forgot about his sacrifice for the country and criticize  due to one bad inning against Srilanka
