Yuvraj Singh Excited for India-Pakistan Clash in New York, Advocates for Cricket's Growth in the USA

Former Indian cricket star Yuvraj Singh expressed his anticipation for the highly anticipated India-Pakistan cricket match scheduled to take place in New York on June 9. Having witnessed numerous thrilling encounters between the two nations, Yuvraj believes that the match will be an emotional rollercoaster for both sides.

"It's a game of emotion. If we win, we'll go crazy. If we lose, we'll go crazy. But the thing is, if we win, they will go crazy with us. If we lose, they will go crazy with us. That's the difference," Yuvraj said.

Despite India's recent dominance over Pakistan in cricket, Yuvraj emphasized the importance of emotional control and focus on the match situation. He believes that the team that manages their emotions better will emerge victorious.

Yuvraj also expressed his excitement about watching the match from the stands for the first time. He acknowledged the growing popularity of cricket in the USA and praised the American approach to packaging sports.

"I think I would not be that nervous going into India-Pakistan game watching it. I've watched on TV, but never been to the ground watching an India-Pakistan match. This will be first time," Yuvraj said.

Yuvraj believes that for cricket to gain traction in the USA, locals need to embrace the game and explore its nuances. He urged Indian American fans to encourage their American friends to attend cricket matches and support the sport's growth in the country.

"To all the (Indian American) fans who come here for cricket, who I know want India to win, but I think you should encourage your American friends and all the people around the world to come and watch every game and encourage the sport of cricket in America," Yuvraj said.

Yuvraj's presence at the Fan Park launch at the Oculus Trade Center in New York, where he serves as an ICC Ambassador for the T20 World Cup, underscores his commitment to promoting cricket globally. He believes that the USA has the potential to become a major cricket hub, given its passion for sports and its ability to package them effectively.

"I'm sure this is a place where all the best sports in the world are played. America is a place where all sports are popular," Yuvraj said.

Yuvraj's enthusiasm for cricket's growth in the USA is evident in his support for the American team. He wished them well in their campaign but acknowledged India's current dominance in the sport.

"All the best to you and the American team, but India is far ahead in cricket right now. Part of you, which is also Indian, so I know inside you want India to win as well," Yuvraj said.
