World Cup 2019: Yuvraj Singh trolls Matthew Hayden ahead of India's clash with Australia

Ahead of the high voltage clash, former Australian opener Matthew Hayden and veteran Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh were involved in some friendly banter.

India will be taking on Australia in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2019 at the Kennington Oval in London on Sunday. In what is being dubbed as the battle of the title contenders, both 'Men in Blue'and Baggy Greens are eyeing a win to continue with their winning run after starting their respective  campaign in emphatic fashion. Ahead of the high voltage clash, former Australian opener Matthew Hayden and veteran Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh were involved in some friendly banter. Reacting to a pre-match advertisement by Star Sports, Hayden called Yuvraj by asking him to a give high-five, referring to the five World Cups which Australia have won over the years. However, Yuvraj responded with equal force and came up with a witty reply for Matthew Hayden, with the 2011 World Cup winner writing, India are going to be ‘two’ good for the defending champions, referring to the two World Cups won by the Men in Blue while asking the former opener to stop showing off those five titles. “Hey @YUVSTRONG12, this new @StarSportsIndia promo for ICC #CWC19 is darn good! Did you watch it? Gimme a high-FIVE for #INDvAUS mate! See you guys on June 9! #CricketKaCrown,” wrote Hayden on Twitter. “Stop showing off those 5 titles, Haydos. Just to let you know, we're gonna be TWO good for you in #INDvAUS on June 9!#CricketKaCrown hum #LeJayenge!! @StarSportsIndia #CWC19,” replied Yuvraj. The India-Australia encounter in recent times have been one of the most fascinating rivalries in international cricket as both the teams have consistently strived to be at the very top in the limited overs format. The 'Men in Blue' are have been dubbed as one of the ‘top favourites’ to win the 2019 World Cup along with hosts England but almost every expert and pundit has named Australia as one of the predicted semi-finalists in the showpiece event
