Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh left Jasprit Bumrah in a spot with a question for which he had no answer. In Instagram live with Bumrah, Yuvraj asked him to pick better middle-order batsman between him and MS Dhoni.

Bumrah was finding it tough to answer only one and he tried to duck the bouncer. He said answering the question wouldn't be easy for him as he doesn’t have much cricketing experience to choose between the two.

“Choosing between Yuvraj and MS Dhoni is like choosing between Mum and Dad,” Bumrah said in the interaction. “I'm a fan of both equally," he said and the pacer also recalled the 256-run partnership between Dhoni and Yuvraj in Cuttack back in 2017.

"When we were in school we used to love both and watch your partnerships. Honestly, I can’t pick one,” Bumrah said.

Yuvraj praised the youngster for his maturity as a cricketer. He told him to keep grinding and focus on Test cricket. “One of the nicest and mature guys. Focus a lot on Test cricket. You should support youngsters a lot. Be a good ambassador of the game," said Yuvraj.

Apart from serious discussion, they also had fun chat. The ex-India cricketer recalled how Bumrah's six to Australian fast bowler Pat Cummins had left the dressing room celebrating wildly.

In reply, Bumrah pointed out that he once scored an unbeaten knock of 42 runs off just 20 balls against Goa in List A cricket. When Yuvraj pulled his leg over batting, the bowler promised to come up with the video of his innings to show his batting potential.
