Earlier in an exclusive interview with News24, when asked about the biggest X-factor of Warriors team, coach Manish Jha names two players who stand out. He said: “For our team, Yuvraj Chaudhary and Devendra Bora stand out. Devendra had a great last season and was part of the India U-23 camp. Sanskar Rawat performed really well last season. We also have Naveen Singh, who has been a net bowler for Rajasthan Royals over the last two seasons. These players bring top-level experience and can guide the younger members of the squad during crunch situations.”

Yuvraj Chaudhary is the icon player for Warriors and he delivered when the team needed him the most. He showed his power-hitting capabilities and ensured that he took his team towards a path of win.
