With this win, India has levelled the five-match series by 1-1. Also, now, after seven losses and a draw, they finally have a win to their name at Edgbaston Stadium.
On team India performance in the second test match against England, Yuvraj said, The overall performance of the Indian team was outstanding. Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep bowled amazingly. Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant batted well...I am also very happy for Akash Deep as his sister is recovering from cancer. I will give him a huge hug when I meet him.
Yuvraj Singh was present at the YouWeCan charity event on Tuesday, which took place in London, UK. Along with Yuvraj, former England cricketers Kevin Pietersen and Darren Gough also marked their presence at the event.
At the YouWeCan charity event, Former Indian Cricketer Yuvraj told ANI, It feels incredible as so many people have come to support me and the foundation, my friends and family, people who have seen me go through cancer...I hope that we can raise a million tonight, if not, we will keep on doing more good work.
