In a throwback to the Gary Kirsten days when the then India coach would always help Sachin Tendulkar with throwdowns, the Nondescripts Cricket Club (NCC) ground here today witnessed Yuvraj Singh going through the same routine with fielding coach Trevor Penney.

It was an optional session but the likes of skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Gautam Gambhir, Suresh Raina and Lakshmipathy Balaji slogged it out with the reserve players ahead of India's first World Twenty20 match against, Afghanistan, here tomorrow.
