We will witness some of the great cricketing action in coming days as the tournament will last till Aug 11, 2019. It will be interesting to see how Yuvraj Singh play after his retirement as he will now play under no pressure. We can expect his natural game to come out in this series. On the other hand, Chris Gayle who is on the verge of retirement will ensure that he proves a point by displaying some good batting show.
