Asia Cup 2025: The advice of Yuvraj Singh to Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma: “Do not repeat my error, also play this sport” | Cricket news

Before the Asian 2025 Cup, the former versatile of India asked Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma not to repeat the error he made during his years of play and play golf, as it will help them score more points.“I told them to play golf and I encourage them to play. It is very difficult to find time, but I think IPL is a good time for them to find time and hit balls,” said Yuvraj at an event.

“It’s their own. Now, these are superstars of the game and they have to decide what will help them be better. If golf can be something, then they have to decide. But I encourage all the athletes to play golf. I think it’s a great way to relax and it’s great for the mind.”When asked if playing golf would help them, Yuvraj said: “I think any sport that helps you relax will be less trying on the body and more fruitful for the mind. If you see golf culture in Australia, South Africa, England – the majority of the best crickets played golf from an age.

“You see a lot of these guys playing a lot of golf course and doing less cricket practice during tours. You can’t change something in a game in three days. But how can you recover and be mentally fresh for a game? So, I think it’s not just cricket. For any sportsman in the world, they should play golf because it will end up the best in their sport.”Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma should open for India at the next Asian Cup, from next week. Yuvraj said that if he had played golf during his years of play, he would have scored 3,000 additional international points.“I would have scored 3,000 more points,” said Yuvraj.“I tell all the young cricket players to try to play golf, to hit the ball, to see what you feel. Because sometimes too much practice is not good for you either. Sometimes, when you do not score races, you want to practice more, and with golf too, you want to hit more bullets. But sometimes, it’s good to relax,” he said.
