One of the greatest match winners from
India in white-ball cricket. Watching Yuvraj Singh hitting the glorious drive, flicking, and slapping cuts through the backward point is one of the better sights. If we see
cricket news, he showed his caliber in the early days and played many meaningful knocks. In the
Champions Trophy 2000, he showed his skill at the international level against
Australia. At that time, playing against the Australian attack was not that easy, but he arrived with a bang and stood out. Apart from his batting, he was electric on the field and good with the bowl.

world cricket news, he produced many knocks, and the partnership with Mohammad Kaif in the Natwest final is iconic. At the start of the tournament, he established himself as a middle-order batsman and can build the innings and explode as well.

IPL matches. He scored 1900, 8701, 1177, and 2750 runs and took 9, 111, 28, and 36 wickets.

in 2007 and 2011. Yuvraj Singh played in the first-ever world cup in 2003, and India lost the world cup in the final, but Yuvi produced many crucial knocks. The
T20 world cup was a whole new format, and the

in the world cup are still records and showed his stroke play to the world. He became the first Indian to hit six sixes in the world and played a crucial knock against Australia. He helped India to win the first-ever T20 world cup. At times, he was one of the reliable batters who used to play genuine pace and short.

His all-around performance helped India to win the ICC world cup after 28 years. He was the man of the tournament for his batting, bowling, and fielding. He met with the tragic incident after the 2011 world cup and detected cancer in its initial stage even before the tournament. Still, he continued to play in the world cup, and he went to rehab after the tournament. He came back from cancer like a fighter in real life and played his biggest ODI knock.
