Yuvraj Singh is a former Indian all-rounder who donned the Indian jersey in all three formats between 2000 to 2017. Yuvraj batted in the middle-order for India, bowled left-arm spin occasionally, and was an outstanding fielder in the thirty-yard circle. He is one of the main reasons India won the 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 World Cup. In the 2007 T20 World Cup, the Southpaw scored 148 runs and took 1 wicket while in the 2011 WC, he amassed 362 runs and bagged 15 wickets.

Yuvraj commenced his IPL career with Kings Xi Punjab in 2008 as an icon player and led the side in the first two seasons. Then, he played one more season with Punjab but this time as a player. In the first three editions, the flamboyant player scored 894 runs in 15 matches and took 14 wickets with the ball, including two hat-tricks in 2009. His home for the next three seasons was now disbanded Pune Warriors India. The 2011 World Cup winner made 343 runs and claimed 9 wickets in his first stint with Pune. Due to cancer, he could not take part in the 2012 IPL season but scored 238 runs and snared 6 wickets despite recovering from the big illness.

In 2014, Singh moved to Royal Challengers Bangalore after becoming the costliest buy in the auction (INR 14 cr). His outing for the franchise was as rocking as the auction as he notched up 376 runs in 14 games, his most in a single edition, and took 5 wickets.

Yuvraj became the most expensive player for the successive season in 2015, this time his price soared as high as INR 16 cr and, SRH picked him. However, his stint with SRH was moderate, scoring only 248 runs and taking 1 wicket in 14 games. In 2016, SRH again drafted him into the squad in the auction for INR 7 cr. SRH won their first title under David Warner’s leadership but Yuvi creamed 236 runs in 10 outings. Next year, the batting all-rounder scored 252 runs at an impressive strike rate of 142.37 in 12 appearances.

The last two years of Yuvraj’s IPL career were a disaster as he lost his old golden form. He played for his first team Punjab Kings in 2018 and made 64 runs in 8 matches. Therefore in 2019, Mumbai Indians got the champ for his base price of INR 1 cr. Yuvraj was given only 4 matches by the management. The Southpaw made a quickfire 53 on his debut game against RCB and then failed to perform in other games. MI lifted their 4th title in 2019, making Singh the two-time IPL champion.

Overall, Yuvraj Singh amassed 2750 runs in 132 IPL games at a decent average of 129.72 with 13 fifties to his name. Yuvi was not given a long run in any franchise like MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Gautam Gambhir, etc from their respective teams, and post-cancer, his cricket was not what it used to be. In fielding department, he grabbed 31 catches and affected 8 run-outs.
