While it is commendable for the team to come back, there is no reason to show gratitude on the field to the opposition. They are also here to compete and show their skills in the most lucrative market of all (for cricket). Its not his love for Indians that has brought KP here - it is competition and future opportunities. Had something similar happened in Sri Lanka or Pakistan etc. - they wouldn't have come back.
Rediff here is trying to sensationalize what Yuvraj said with its irresponsible headline - if you watch the video (its on Timesofindia.com if you wanna see), it is good natured banter. Its logical - if you get out to useless bowler, then you must be a useless batsman. Yuvi then gives KP his due during serious conversation.
Don't get your undies in a bunch - enjoy the competition !
This is a bad way to cover this interview. He did not ridicule KP, infact, he handled it very maturely. He joked about it first and complimented him and actually handled it much better than KP.
This article did not do justice to how well he handled.

i agree....wen kp says sumthng 2 yuvi it is meant 2 b taken lightly, bt if yuvi gives him back he is rediculing him....hw fair it is....
Yuvi says, if he works hard and stays in the middle the runs will come. That is exactly what is batting. Staying and surviving in the middle is the main thing in batting in test cricket.
Yuvi has answered KP well. If poor bowler can make KP out 5 times out of 8 occasion, what about KP's capability to face this 'poor / useless bowler'. Good point Yuvi! Yuvi did not mention about the illegal shot of KP where he changed the grip to left handers and hit 6. Yuvi needs to get his eye in first every time he gets to the middle and then belt the bowlers all over the ground as he is used to in ODI.
England has been following negative tactics by bowling wide of the off stump and setting strong off side field.

You freaking ass of an idiot, who has ever said that the switch hit is illegal??? That is innovativeness at its very best and the ICC has officially added it to the list of cricketing shots. Are you sure it is England who set the negative field when KP and Flints were batting??? Showing your patriotism is good. But making an ass of urself while doing so dilutes it.

if u stay in the middle n survive, then runs vl come automatically. there is exception however, if its dravid the runs vl not come even after staying in the middle.
