Rajkot, Dec 29: Yuvraj Singh continued his good form with the bat as he struck his 3rd century in as many matches in the Ranji Trophy today. Ignored for the 30-man World Cup squad, Yuvraj is answering his critics with the bat.

Playing for Punjab in his 3rd match of the Ranji Trophy season, Yuvraj scored a century today against Saurashtra at the Saurashtra Cricket Association (SCA) Stadium. He now has over 400 runs in 3 matches.

Yuvraj, who was 95 not out overnight, completed his 3rd ton of the season early in the morning. He is currently batting on 156 (258 balls, 20×4, 2×6).

This was his 23rd first-class hundred. The 33-year-old started the 2014-15 first-class season with 130 against Haryana and followed that up with 136 versus Maharashtra. After the World Cup snub, Yuvraj was also left out of the BCCI contracted players’ list.
