'All qualities of leader': Yuvraj backs Abhishek for India captaincy, inclusion in ODIs

Former international all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has expressed strong support for Abhishek Sharma, suggesting the left-handed batter possesses the requisite temperament to eventually lead the national team. Yuvraj noted that the player frequently guides junior athletes, such as Sooryavanshi, and highlighted that leading an Indian Premier League franchise could serve as necessary preparation for international leadership.

In addition to future captaincy prospects, the mentor urged national selectors to evaluate Sharma for the 50-over squad, pointing to his sustained output in limited-overs formats and arguing that he should be given a proper chance to demonstrate his capabilities in the longer white-ball variant.
