Published on :9th February 2009
Yuvraj Singh had a mere 72 runs to show in five one-dayers the last time India toured Sri Lanka.

But the Indian batsmen have now learnt to tackle him, which was proved in Wednesday's first match of the ODI series where Mendis proved a flop," said Harbhajan, who missed out on the tour of the Emerald Islands owing to a hamstring injury.
