Yuvraj Singh
Yuvraj Singh was born on 12 December 1981 in Chandigarh, India. He is a famous cricketer from India. He has been a member of the Indian cricket team since 2000 (ODIs) and played his first Test match in 2003. Yuvraj made his One Day International debut against Kenya at Nairobi in 2000, at the ICC KnockOut Trophy. He showed his potential in his second ODI which was against the Australians where he scored a quickfire 84 off 82 balls against a quality pace attack consisting of bowlers like Glenn McGrath, Brett Lee and Jason Gillespie. At the 2007 World Twenty20 he hit six sixes in an over against England’s Stuart Broad - a feat only performed three times previously in any form of senior cricket, and never previously in an international match between two Test cricket nations. Yuvraj first came to attention when he captained the U-19 Punjab cricket team in the final of the Cooch-Behar Trophy against Bihar U-19s, in which he scored 358. He is the son of former Indian fast bowler and Punjabi movie star Yograj Singh.
