Yuvraj Singh, an iconic figure in Indian cricket, is known for his outstanding contributions and remarkable achievements throughout his illustrious career. Born on December 12, 1981, in Chandigarh, India, Yuvraj's journey in cricket began at a young age, and he quickly rose through the ranks, showcasing his exceptional talent.

Meanwhile, the former legend is celebrating his 42nd birthday on December 12 and as usual, his close friends and renowned cricketers showered wishes for him on social media. Many former cricketers like Virender Sehwag, Suresh Raina and others took to their social media accounts and wished Yuvraj.

Talking about Yuvraj’s magnificent career, his defining moment came during the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007, where his swashbuckling performances with the bat and ball played a pivotal role in India's triumph. His six consecutive sixes off Stuart Broad in a group-stage match became etched in cricketing folklore, symbolizing his fearless and aggressive style of play.

Yuvraj's brave battle with Cancer

Beyond the T20 heroics, Yuvraj excelled in the longer formats, contributing significantly to India's success in ODIs. He played a crucial role in India's 2011 ODI World Cup victory, earning the Player of the Tournament award for his all-round brilliance. He also played Indian Premier League (IPL) for multiple franchises but couldn’t get much success.

Off the field, Yuvraj's resilience and courage shone through when he battled and triumphed over a rare form of cancer, inspiring millions with his indomitable spirit. His charitable initiatives, including the 'YouWeCan' foundation, reflect his commitment to making a positive impact beyond the cricketing arena. He tried to make a comeback in international cricket after defeating Cancer but failed to do so.

Yuvraj's greatness lies not only in his cricketing achievements but also in his ability to overcome adversity and use his platform to uplift others. As a true cricketing legend, he has left an indelible mark on the sport and continues to be an inspiration for aspiring cricketers and fans alike.
