As Yuvraj Singh Turns 36, Here’s a Look at the Records Held by Him
As Yuvraj Singh turns 36, here’s a look at some of the records held by the batsman in international cricket.
Yuvraj Singh may have had the ‘bad boy’ image throughout his international career, but he meant business every time he walked out on the field to play for India.
From the NatWest series final versus England in 2002 to the ODI World Cup in 2011, Yuvraj has been a part of many memorable matches.
The 34-year-old lit up the first ever edition of the World T20 in 2007 after smashing Stuart Broad for six sixes in a single over in a match against England.
And, apart from his batting, he has also set a good example with his bowling and fielding.
On Yuvraj Singh’s 36th birthday, here’s a look at some of the records held by the left-batsman in international cricket.
