Would love to see India's 'sixer man' in ILT20: Virender Sehwag's proposal to Yuvraj Singh

Hindustan Times  

ILT20 is quickly becoming one of the most followed global T20 leagues worldwide, a testament to the quality of cricket on show. While ILT20 currently has limited participation from Indian superstars, Sehwag hopes to see that change by bringing in none other than Yuvraj Singh on board. So, we would love to see some Indian players participate in ILT20," said Sehwag while replying to a Hindustan Times query during a media interaction here in Abu Dhabi. "He is a sixer man," said Sehwag, while speaking about Yuvraj, whose 6 sixes in an over off Stuart Broad in the 2007 T20 World Cup cemented its place in the history books. Sehwag believes the UAE league is growing stronger with each season and sees immense value in their players sharing the field with top international cricketers.
