A quick look at Yuvraj Singh’s career highlights
Making his debut under former Indian cricket team captain Sourav Ganguly in 2000, Yuvraj Singh played in the international sphere for nearly two decades. At the turn of the millennium, he showed promise of becoming a superstar in his debut ICC tournament, the ICC Knockout Cup in Kenya. In the quarter-final match against Australia, Singh played a masterful knock of 84 runs off 80 deliveries to guide India to a win. He also picked up the Man of the Match award.
A couple of years later, he joined forces with Mohammad Kaif in the final of the NatWest Series in 2002 against England at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground to steady the Indian innings. At a time when the team was reeling at 146 runs for the loss of five wickets, chasing a mammoth target of 326, Singh scored 69 runs off 63 deliveries and stitched a crucial 121-run partnership with Kaif which eventually saw India win the match by two wickets.
In the inaugural ICC World Twenty20 in 2007, the southpaw took English speedster Stuart Broad to the cleaners as he hit six sixes in an over. Singh became the first player to achieve this feat in a match between two Test-playing nations in international cricket. He also scripted the record for the fastest half-century in Twenty-20 (T20) Internationals, scoring 50 runs in just 12 deliveries. While the record has since been broken by Nepalese cricketer Dipendra Singh Airee at the 2023 Asian Games, Yuvraj Singh’s half-century off 12 balls remains the fastest to date among full member nations of the ICC.
Much of the credit for India’s 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup win goes to Yuvraj Singh, who scored 362 runs in the tournament and picked up 15 wickets.
In India’s fixture against Ireland, he became the first cricketer to pick up five wickets and score 50 runs in an ODI World Cup game. He also picked up four Man of the Match awards in the 2011 edition of the ODI World Cup and ranks alongside Sri Lanka’s Aravinda de Silva (in 1996), South Africa’s Lance Klusener (in 1999) and India’s Rohit Sharma (in 2019) as the winner of the most Man of the Match awards in a single edition of the marquee tournament. At the end of the 2011 World Cup, Singh was also adjudged the Man of the Tournament.
Right after the glory of the 2011 ODI World Cup came the gloom of cancer. The Indian cricketer was diagnosed with a cancerous tumour in his left lung and had to step aside from cricket to undergo treatment. After a prolonged battle for nearly a year, Singh successfully recovered from cancer and returned to the Indian team in 2012.
Yuvraj Singh played one of his finest knocks in international cricket in January 2017. In an ODI encounter against England, Singh registered his career-best score of 150 runs off 127 deliveries, and the knock was studded with 21 fours and three sixes. He mounted a massive 256-run partnership alongside MS Dhoni and helped India reach a total of 381 runs. Following India’s win in that game in Cuttack, Singh was named the Player of the Match. Two years later, he announced his decision to retire from international cricket.
