Yuvraj Singh dons wrong jersey during second ODI

India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh made headlines for wrong reasons during the second ODI between India and West Indies.

Yuvraj who has been sloppy as a fielder and batsman donned a wrong jersey in a match where Ajinkya Rahane and Kuldeep Yadav came up with brilliant performances.

Yuvraj was spotted wearing his Champions Trophy jersey instead of the usual one and the cameras captured it after he was out for just 14 runs against a lackluster attack.

Earlier, former skipper Rahul Dravid said that the Indian team management should now take decisions keeping in mind the 2019 World Cup, which includes the roles of veterans Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh in the current team.

"It is a call that is got to be taken by the selectors and the management," Dravid said.

"And what they see as the road map for Indian cricket, and where they see the role of both these cricketers going ahead for the next couple of years. Is there a place for both of them? Is there a place for only one of them? Do you want to reassess it in a year's time, six months' time? Do you want to look at the available talent and see what they have to offer before going back to these two players?" he asked.

Dravid felt that the Indian team management should experiment, at least with the playing XI and give more opportunities to people.

"They have taken a decision to go to the West Indies with a full-strength squad. I really hope they are willing to experiment at least in the playing XI and give more opportunities to people," said 'The Wall'.

"If you don't do that, suddenly you don't want to come to a situation and, say, in a year's time, where you say, 'We haven't given people chances so these are the only guys we have got.'"

"Better position to be in: 'We have tried everything else, but we still feel that Yuvi and Dhoni are fit, they are playing very well, and they are the guys to see us through.' And no one will complain about that," he added.
