“I think it’s a great achievement if he (Harbhajan) plays his 100th Test (in Chennai). Harbhajan has been a great bowler for India.

“He is also been contributing with the bat, so I am really happy for Harbhajan and hope he does well in this series,” Yuvraj said during a promotional event yesterday.

Talking about the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Yuvraj said: “I just think it’s going to be a good series.”

Yuvraj, who recovered from a rare germ cell cancer, attributed running for his weight loss. “Post my return to cricket, my fitness has been great. I have been training hard for the last six-eight months. Running has helped me shed 12-13 kgs.

“I am really peaking well in fitness and hopefully in the next couple of months I will work a little hard and get super fit,” he signed off.
