Yuvraj Singh has always been eager and ready to help out any Indian batter who has asked for his guidance, helping them train and better their technique.
A short video from the practice nets has gone viral on social media, which shows wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson in a deep discussion with former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, carefully listening to technical and tactical advice.
The internet is one fire with widespread interest among fans, speculating about Yuvraj’s growing role in Sanju’s preparations as the Indian team enters a crucial phase of preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

In recent years, Yuvraj has steadily built a reputation as a guiding influence behind the scenes. Without much fanfare, the World Cup-winning hero has worked closely with several young players, helping them refine their games at critical stages of their careers. His inputs are believed to have played a key role in the development of Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma. Gill has since risen to become India’s captain in Tests and ODIs, while Abhishek has cemented his place as a regular opener in T20 internationals, known for his fearless strokeplay in the powerplay.
Sanju Samson now seems to be the latest player to tap into Yuvraj’s vast experience. The Kerala batter, often praised for his natural talent but questioned for his consistency at the international level, appeared fully engaged during the nets session.
Yuvraj was seen offering detailed advice, likely drawing from his own experience of thriving under pressure in major tournaments. For Samson, this interaction comes at a vital point in his career, with opportunities and expectations both running high.
Samson has been included in the squad for India’s T20I series against New Zealand, a five-match contest expected to play a key role in shaping plans ahead of the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup set to be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.
India Squad for ICC T20 World Cup 2026:
Suryakumar Yadav (c), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakaravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Rinku Singh.
