The Indian cricket team always has a handful of great players. If you look at the rich history of Indian cricket with both batsmen and bowlers, the list of successful all-rounders who do both bat and ball together may be very short. If Kapil Dev and Ajit Agarkar were all fast bowling all-rounders who were part of the history of Indian cricket, the list of spin bowling all-rounders is even shorter. Yuvraj Singh is one of the all-rounders in the history of Indian cricket who has written his name in gold letters. We can say that Yuvraj Singh is a legendary all-rounder who has contributed a lot to the Indian national team with both bat and ball.
Yuvraj Singh, popularly known as yuvi, was born in 1981 in Chandigarh, India. Yuvraj Singh was born the son of former Indian cricketer Yograj Singh and Shabnam Singh.

Yuvraj was part of the Punjab Under-16 cricket team at the age of 13 and was part of the Punjab Under-19 team for the 1996-97 season.
