Pakistan Salman Butt praised Yuvraj Singh and said he learned a lot from his batting.
"I was having problems with my batting. But I had been watching Yuvraj’s batting and when India toured Pakistan for the Asia Cup this year I watched him play up close," Butt said.
"I saw the way he was handling things as he is also a left hander and it helped me a lot," he added.
"But they are not coming so it is Sri Lanka now. But definitely India is the team to beat these days.”
"I think India‘s success has a lot to do with their strong batting that revolves around Sachin Tendulkar. India today has one of the most experienced and strongest batting line-ups in international cricket," said Butt.
"Their batting is very solid and Tendulkar inspires the rest of the batsmen. That is the secret to their success. It would have been a very good series against them," he added.
"The players have to take whatever opportunity comes their way to play cricket and it is good we are busy with our domestic cricket at the moment," Butt said.
