About Yuvraj’s success in the comeback test, Gary Kristen the Indian coach has something to share.

"Yuvraj has felt the heat but you need just one innings to turn it around. We told him to pretend he was playing a one day innings, and to play positively," said Kirsten.

"England was on top but we still felt that we could win. Then it was up to England to make a plan. We went into the fifth day saying that we could do it," he said.

"We were sure that we could make it. I had seen Sehwag play and knew what he was capable of and Sachin was of course equally good," he added.

"The players were nervous but when you have Tendulkar at the crease, playing as he did, the nervousness seems to disappear," said Kirsten.

"Our batting line-up is getting decent scores and there is great balance in the bowling line-up," said Kirsten.

"It's been amazing being part of this setup and its been really big for me," he added.
