A viral video titled “The Yuvraj-Samson Masterclass” has taken the cricketing world by storm, showing legendary all-rounder Yuvraj Singh mentoring Sanju Samson in the nets.
The footage which surfaced on January 10, 2026, features the two stars in an intense training session as India prepares for the upcoming T20 World Cup, set to begin on February 7.
In the clip, Yuvraj is seen meticulously breaking down technical aspects of Samson’s game. The 2011 World Cup hero, known for his “tough love” style of coaching, appears to be focusing on the wicketkeeper-batter’s footwork and shot selection.
This mentorship is particularly significant as Samson looks to solidify his spot as an opener alongside Abhishek Sharma.
Addressing the mindset required for international dominance, Yuvraj has famously told his proteges, “I am not getting you ready for the state, or IPL, or even to get an Indian cap. I am preparing you to win matches for India.”
He often challenges his students to expand their skill sets, asserting, “If you don’t have something, let’s go and acquire it and become a master at it. That’s the only way we are going to be a great player.”
With Sampson coming off a strong run of three T20I centuries but still facing stiff competition from players like Ishan Kishan, fans are hopeful that this “Yuvraj effect” will provide the final edge needed for World Cup glory.
