In June 2019, Yuvraj announced his retirement from international cricket after giving an emotional speech at an event in Mumbai.
“After 25 years, I have decided to move on. Cricket has given me everything and is the reason why I stand here today. I was extremely lucky to play 400 games for India. I could have never imagined it when I first started playing cricket,” he had said.
Yuvraj had made his international debut during an ICC Knockout Tournament in Nairobi, Kenya in 2000. He made his Test debut in front of his home fans in Mohali against New Zealand in 2003.
Yuvraj was a part of India’s T20 World Cup-winning team in 2007 and the 2011 50-over World Cup-winning team. He was also named Player of the Tournament after India defeated Sri Lanka in the final in Mumbai.
In total, Yuvraj Singh played 40 Tests, 304 ODIs and 58 T20Is, amassing more than 10,000 runs across formats.
