The Indian batting line-up is low on confidence as it gears up for their all-important game against New Zealand in the tri-series here today. A brittle middle-order is the main concern for skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who himself is yet to get into his groove.u00a0u00a0
Amidst the gloom, Yuvraj Singh's return to runs in the last match might give Dhoni something to cheer about.

The left-handed batsman managed the only knock of substance for India with a fighting 38 off 64 balls in the last game against hosts Sri Lanka. "Yuvraj batted well (in the last match). That was the positive thing. He is a crucial man in the middle order. He is the kind of guy who can graft for runs and also hit big shots," the Indian skipper said of the left-hander.
"You want one batsman to play a big innings in all games, whoever the batsman may be, especially on these kind of wickets. It can be termed as individual brilliance because you have one batsman batting through and the others batting around him," Dhoni said.
