Big-hitter will benefit from successful Indian campaign

With Chris Gayle missing from the West Indies squad for the Champions Trophy in South Africa, this could be Yuvraj Singh's last chance to close the gap on the former West Indian captain at the top of the Sky Sports International Sixes League. He currently trails by 11 sixes and this tournament could provide the final opportunity for him to reclaim the crown he won in 2007. The rest of the chasing pack appear to be too far back to make any impression on the leading two, so it could be just a case of laying down a marker for the 2010 challenge.
