Sharjah: Shabnam Singh, mother of Yuvraj Singh, said his son hates to bat under pressure and relishes playing in a side that enjoys cricket and are relaxed.
“He is very happy to be picked up for RCB because cricket is all about enjoying and that’s what the Royal Challengers Bangalore stand for. All the boys are really chilled out and that’s where he wants to be because Yuvi hates to bat under pressure or anything,” she said in an interview to RCB’s official website on Tuesday.
Asked about her support to her son, Shabnam said, “Whenever he is down and out, it is best to leave him alone instead of pampering him. I try and make him realise that its just the part of the game and he will come out of it. It is a regular part of parent and child and every parent does that.
“It is very important to support the child. I don’t think so I am different. Mothers are all about fussing over their son and fathers are very harsh. Usually, they are,” she added.
Asked what challenges she faced from her son, Shabnam said Yuvraj was thrown out of every school he attended and most of the teachers expressed unhappiness over his performance in studies. (PTI)
