Yuvraj Singh has Shani Dev to thank for top form

Did Lord Shani Dev ward off Yuvraj Singh’s bad form, and help him become India’s hero on Sunday? Seems like the god of Saturn had a role in Sunday’s match.

Even the cricketer acknowledged this, during the post-matc

h presentation ceremony, when he received the man-of-the-match award. He thanked God for his performance.

On the eve of the India-Ireland World Cup match, Yuvraj quietly slipped off from his hotel room in the evening to visit a Shaneshwara Temple in Wilson Garden to seekSaturn’s blessings.

The cricketer, known more for his flamboyance on the field and partying antics, surprised devotees at the temple, as he paid obeisance to Lord Shani.

Clad in a red T-shirt and blue denims, Yuvraj visited the temple with a local friend and spent about 15 minutes there. He performed a few special pujas to ward off evil, said Ramachandra, the temple priest.
