Yuvraj Singh scripted history in the shortest format as he smashed six sixes in an over against England in the first-ever T20I World Cup in 2007.
At the 2014 IPL auction Royal Challengers Bangalore bought Yuvraj for an all-time high price of Rs 14 crore and, in 2015, the Delhi Daredevils bought him for Rs 16 crore making him the most expensive player ever to be sold in the IPL history.
Yuvraj Singh was diagnosed with a cancerous tumour in his left lung, which was confirmed to be Seminoma Lung Cancer. The Indian all-rounder put up a triumphant battle with cancer.
Yuvraj Singh was a good all-rounder cricketer in all formats of the cricket. He had taken 111 wickets in the ODIs and 9 wickets in the test matches.
Yuvraj Singh has been conferred with the Arjuna Award (India's second-highest sporting award) in 2012. He was awarded the Padma Shri, India's fourth-highest civilian honour in 2014.
Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh are only two Indians who have won ‘Man of the Series’ award in the cricket World Cups so far.
Here's Zee News wishing Yuvi a very happy birthday and all the best for his future endeavours.
