Singh has questioned Indian batting coach Vikram Rathour's ability in the T20
format to lead and direct Indian cricketers. Last year, Vikram Rathour replaced
Sanjay Bangar as the Indian batting coach. During an Instagram session on
Tuesday, Yuvraj said, "He (Rathour) is my friend; do you think he can help
players of this T20 generation? Has he played cricket at the level to help
them?" Rathour featured in six Tests and seven ODIs for India in 1996-97.
Winner of the 2007 World T20
and 2011 World Cup Yuvraj believes in man management of players via an insight
on their personalities. He said, "If I was coach I'll tell goodnight to
Jasprit Bumrah at 9pm and take Hardik Pandya out for a drink at 10 pm...that's
how you deal with different personalities."

Former all-rounder also tipped
Hardik Pandya to break his record of fastest T20 fifty saying, "Hardik
Pandya could be the guy who breaks my record of fastest T20 fifty. He has all
the making of a good all-rounder, but then again you need to have someone to
guide him in the team."
Yuvraj also took a sly dig at Ravi Shashtri and said, "the current guys have no one to talk to and take advice. I don't know if Ravi is guiding them but maybe he has other things in his hand. You can't tell everyone to go out and play your game, express yourself, this approach may work with someone like Sehwag but this will never work with (Cheteshwar) Pujara, so these things the coaching staff need to realize."
Yuvraj also spoke about other
topics, criticizing the squad selection for 2019 World Cup, reminiscing one of
the worst days of his carrier in 2014 after the World T20 Final loss to Sri
Lanka and disliking the running of his former club KINGS XI PUNJAB.
