    Yuvraj Singh (born 12 December 1981) is a

    former Indian international cricketer who


    played in all formats of the game. He is an
    all-rounder who batted left-handed in the
    middle order and bowled slow left-arm
    orthodox . He has won 7 Player of the Series
    awards in ODI cricket, which is joint 3rd
    highest by an Indian, shared with former Indian
    captain Sourav Ganguly. He is also the son of
    former Indian fast bowler and Punjabi actor
    Yograj Singh.[3]
    Yuvraj was a member of the Indian cricket team
    in One Day Internationals (ODIs) between 2000
    and 2017 and played his first Test match in
    October 2003. He was the vice-captain of the
    Indian ODI team between 2007 and 2008. In a
    match against England at the 2007 World
    Twenty20, he famously hit six sixes in one over
    bowled by Stuart Broad[4] — a feat performed
    only three times previously in any form of
    senior cricket, and never in an international
    match between two teams with Test match status.
    In the same match, he set the record for the
    fastest fifty in Twenty20 Internationals and in
    all T20 cricket, reaching 50 runs in 12 balls,
    which was a record for fastest half century in
    International cricket, until it was broken by
    Dipendra Airee during 2023 Asian Games but
    Singh still holds the record in the ICC Cricket
    World Cup and among ICC full member nations.
    During the 2011 World Cup, he became the first
    player to take a 5-wicket haul and score a 50
    in the same World Cup match. During the 2011
    World Cup, Yuvraj Singh played eight innings in
    nine matches and scored 362 runs with a
    remarkable average of 90.50.[5] He also took 15
    wickets in the tournament, maintaining an
    economy rate of 5.02.[6]

    In 2011, Yuvraj was diagnosed with a cancerous


    tumor in his left lung and underwent
    chemotherapy treatment in Boston and
    Indianapolis.[7] In March 2012, he was
    discharged from the hospital after completing
    the third and final cycle of chemotherapy and
    returned to India in April. He made his
    international comeback in a Twenty20 match in
    September against New Zealand shortly before
    the 2012 World Twenty20.

    In 2012, Yuvraj was conferred with the Arjuna


    Award, India's second highest sporting award by
    the Government of India. In 2014, he was
    awarded the Padma Shri, India's fourth highest
    civilian honour. At the 2014 IPL auction Royal
    Challengers Bangalore bought Yuvraj for an all-
    time high price of ₹14 crore and, in 2015, the
    Delhi Daredevils bought him for ₹16 crore
    making him the second most expensive player
    ever to be sold in the IPL until Chris Morris
    was sold to the Rajasthan Royals for a record
    ₹16.25 crore in February 2021. In February
    2014, he was honoured with FICCI Most Inspiring
    Sportsperson of the Year Award.
    On 10 June 2019, Yuvraj announced his
    retirement from all forms of International
    cricket.[8][9] He last represented India in
    June 2017, against the West Indies.[10] His
    request for a return to domestic cricket and
    IPL was turned down by BCCI for participating
    in Global T20 League in Canada and T10 league.
