"Being in the Test side has helped me most. A lot of players play one-day cricket. But actual cricket is Test cricket. When you go out and perform in Test cricket, you feel confident that you belong at this level," the 24-year-old batsman said.

"In turn, that gives you a lot of confidence when you are playing a one-day game. You have reached a difficult level. Now that I have achieved success in Test cricket, I can get better in one-day cricket," he said in an interview published in the latest edition of Cricinfo magazine.

Yuvraj said when he was a "young kid", Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman had already played a lot of Test matches and the thought that he had replaced them in the Test squad, had proved to be a big morale booster.

"It has been a rollercoaster ride for me. It's not that I just came in and replaced Sourav or Laxman. I know that when I perform at my best there is 90 per cent chance that I will win the game for India."
