Yuvraj Singh

Born on 12 December 1981 in Chandigarh, Yuvraj Singh inherited his unique talent from his father, and former Indian fast bowler Yograj Singh.

An all rounder, left-hand batsman and slow left-arm orthodox Yuvraj, has the ability to strike the ball very hard. But Yuvraj Singh will always be remembered for his remarkable performance in Twenty-20 World Cup, bringing the trophy back and making India proud.

“Six sixes in Six balls”, who can forget that, blistering knock and a great innings, which helped him enter the record books to score six sixes in one over and scoring fastest 50 in just 12 balls. Face of several leading brands, Yuvraj is raking moolahs, and to add top it all is the Indian Premier league auction. In such short span of his career, Yuvraj Singh has reached the “iconic status,” surely there’s nothing stopping for him.

Before his debut match against Australia in October 2000, few had thought that Yuvraj Singh would almost single handedly take India to victory against the world champions. But he did just that and with a stylish 84 and some breathtaking fielding announced his grand arrival in international cricket. He was previously known as a member of the Indian Under 19 side that had recently won the World Cup. However he took to international cricket like a natural and with his raw talent, tremendous strength and amazing determination, Yuvraj Singh soon cemented his place in the ODI team. He is specially remembered for his performance in the 2002 Natwest Series in England where he contributed heavily to assure India's fairytale run ended in victory. His Test debut got delayed by sometime and he finally played his first test in 2003 when captain Sourav Ganguly could not play owing to injury. After being in and out of the team for some time, he now is a regular in the Test team as well. However he is seen more as a one-day player, he is irreplaceable in the Indian team at the moment. livescore.warofcricket.com provides the profile of Yuvraj Singh and other cricketers around the world
