Yuvraj, who retired from all forms of cricket in 2019, played 304 ODIs, 40 Tests and 58 T20Is for India while playing a crucial role in India’s wins at the inaugural World Cup T20 2007 and ODI World Cup 2011.
He was the ‘player of the tournament’ when India ended their 28-year wait for another ODI World Cup triumph in 2011, while the 2007 T20 World Cup is famous for the six six that Yuvraj hit against England fast bowler Stuart Broad.
