T20 WC: After Swashbuckling Century, Canadas Samra Relishes Training Time Under Jwala Singh

T20 World Cup: Yuvraj Samra is not the type to dwell on yesterday's headlines. Just days after the 19-year-old smashed New Zealand's bowlers all over the park with a breathtaking 110 off 65 balls for Canada at the Mens T20 World Cup in Chennai, Canada's newest cricket sensation didnt immediately fly back to his hometown, Toronto. Instead, Samra, the youngest batter and first from the Associate Nations to score a century in the T20 World Cup, has been sweating it out and playing on different pitches in Mumbai since February 21 under the watchful eyes of Jwala Singh, the Mumbai-based coach who nurtured India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal. Singh first spotted Samras talent on a video call organised by the latters father, Baljit. When I saw him online with his father a few years back, I told my staff that he is too good and doesn't need an online session. Instead, he needs more of an offline session. His bat was coming very straight, his hands are so strong, and when I saw him playing against New Zealand, the way he smashed all those world-class bowlers, it showed that he has the right temperament to dominate at the international level as well, Singh told IANS on a virtual call on Tuesday. For Samra, the feeling is mutual. Back home in Canada, it's minus 20, and it snows for six months in a year. For us, it's really tough playing indoors all the time, and I'm just really grateful to be here in Mumbai practising with Sir on different wickets here. As much as I can practice on these Mumbai wickets, it's good, as it's not that easy to bat on. If I can bat well, it's a win anyway, and it's been really good so far, he said. The contrast between where he trains at home and what he produced in Chennai is not lost on Singh, who sees Samra's ability to adapt as the defining feature of his game. Its more so because coming from a country where for 6-7 months you are already in snow and not playing on proper turf wickets. You keep practising on extra turfs, where there is no turn, only bounce and pace. But coming to India and playing in different situations in Chennai, Ahmedabad, and Colombo, one can imagine that he adapts to the situations very well because it's very hard to do so, he noted. Since arriving in Mumbai, Samra has already moved through multiple venues -- the Air India ground, the Thane centre of Mumbai Cricket Club, run by Singh, as well as a session at the Oval Maidan on Tuesday -- with the MCA's BKC ground next on the itinerary for Wednesday. The variety of venues is deliberate, and Samra has taken it all in his stride. In my academy, there are kids who are always practising on the turning tracks. Still, they complain that the wicket has so much or so little turn. But this guy understands how to tackle and adapt to different conditions, and that's really very impressive. I took him to the Air India ground, and he adjusted to those wickets, as well as to my Thane centre. Today we did a session at Oval Maidan, and tomorrow we are going to MCA's BKC ground. So there is no difference at all. When you are playing well on different surfaces, that shows that he is mentally so good and he knows how to adjust, implement, and deliver his shots so that's the unique point he has because there are so many people who always have skills. But very few people can perform on the big occasions, and he is one of them, said Singh. With a T20 World Cup century already on the board at 19, Singh is not looking to overhaul anything. His focus now is on the mindset -- keeping Samra, named after legendary Indian batting all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, hungry, grounded, and relentlessly consistent. Well, if somebody like Yuvraj, whos already played in the World Cup, which is at the highest level and scores hundreds there, then most of the work has been done. It's always important to keep their mind alive, motivating them to keep working hard and make them aware of how to become consistent because if you are thinking about playing international cricket, it's all about consistency, he said. Singh also said Yuvraj showed unusually rapid progress in training, noting that within a day he had improved his back-foot play against short-pitched deliveries by nearly 20 per cent - a development that typically takes months for most youngsters. He added that Samras ability to read the ball was exceptional, explaining that while many batters pick cues from the release point, the youngster tracks the ball from the bowlers wrist and still manages to make late adjustments. Over four days of practice on varied surfaces, he said, the youngster consistently delivered, setting himself apart from peers. Singh was characteristically direct about what separates players like Samra from those who fade after a bright start. You have to score every day, and that's how I really teach the players. I try to make them hungrier towards success. If you have scored 100 in the past, whether it was on February 17 or 18, it's gone. Now we are on February 24 and need to think about today. You have to try to learn how to become consistent in terms of your cricket, social life, and handling others as it's very, very important because it's not about playing good cricket, it's about how good a human being you are -- how you are carrying your emotions, treating others and these things also count to play for the long term. So, this is what I really work on and make them learn. But the most important thing is focus, because if you have focus, then all other expertise will align towards the goal. If you don't have focus, everything will go on. I have seen many players -- they started very, very well, but today they are nowhere. It's all about focus and consistency, and mostly I try to build them as a good human, as well as how to become more consistent. Of course, they have skill; otherwise, without skill, you cannot survive at that level, he elaborated. You have to try to learn how to become consistent in terms of your cricket, social life, and handling others as it's very, very important because it's not about playing good cricket, it's about how good a human being you are -- how you are carrying your emotions, treating others and these things also count to play for the long term. Also Read: Live Cricket Score First of all, I want to say thank you to everyone from Canada who supported me throughout my journey and watched my game against New Zealand. I just really thank you for that, and I want to say to all the kids that anything is possible if you work hard towards it. Anything you dream of can become true, and I feel like you should never stop working hard and always chase your dreams, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

We Both Have Same Goal Of Winning Super 8 Clash: 'Calm And Professional' Morkel Brothers Ready For India Vs SA Encounter

T20 World Cup: India's first Super 8s match in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2026 against South Africa at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday will be more than just a rematch of the historic 2024 T20 WC Final. It will also see an unusual family face-off outside the 22-yard line, where Albie and Morne Morkel, former South Africa teammates and brothers, will find themselves in opposite camps. Albie Morkel, who played one Test, 58 ODIs and 50 T20Is for South Africa, is serving as the Proteas consultant coach for the Mens T20 World Cup. His younger brother Morne, a veteran of 86 Tests, 117 ODIs and 44 T20Is for South Africa, is currently Indias bowling coach. Ahead of the high-profile encounter, the two sat down together and made it clear that, despite the family equation, their objective remains unchanged; to help their respective teams secure victory. In a video shared by the BCCI on Sunday, Albie outlined his responsibilities within the South African setup and even took credit for Morne's rise as a bowling coach. Specialist consultant, is a mouthful. In short, I have to figure out ways to beat Team India on Sunday. Thats it. Weve played some cricket together, and now were both in coaching roles. We actually coached together in our first stint; thats where I shaped him to be a very good bowling coach. Showed him how to do it, Albie said. Morne, meanwhile, reflected on the demands that come with his role and how he manages the pressure. I think as a bowling coach, you know, there's always a lot of pressure on you. But we're quite lucky that in our group, there's a lot of experience. There's a lot of people that can assist and help you in that mental load, he said. Albie admitted that family banter is inevitable when the brothers line up on opposite sides, but stressed that professionalism comes first. He works for India, I work for South Africa, and we both have the same goal; to win that game on Sunday. The family will do the banter. Were very calm and professional about how we go about these things. Even during our playing days, we hardly spoke about games or moments, on or off the field. Albie added. However, Morne said he never displayed much of a competitive streak against his elder brother. I'm three years younger than Albi, and I was the baby in the house. So in terms of bowling and just doing what I was told, that's how we went about things. So there was no competitive edge from my side, said Morne. He works for India, I work for South Africa, and we both have the same goal; to win that game on Sunday. The family will do the banter. Were very calm and professional about how we go about these things. Even during our playing days, we hardly spoke about games or moments, on or off the field. Albie added.
