Yuvraj Singh, born on December 12, 1981 and the son of former Indian fast bowler Yograj Singh, is a cricketer from India. He is a member of the Indian cricket team since 2000. He was born at Chandigarh. He made his one-day international debut against Kenya at Nairobi and Test debut against New Zealand at Mohali.
He wass the vice captain of the ODI team from late-2007 to late-2008. 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 is primarily a left-handed batsman but can bowl part-time left-arm spin. He can demolish pace bowling but his aggressive style of batting is often a cause of his demise against spin bowling. He is seen as part of the new brigade of young cricketers who can form the nucleus of the Indian team in the future.
