Yuvraj Singh celebrating a century against Australia

The left-handed batsman is undoubtedly among the greatest superstars of the game. Born in Chandigarh to a cricketer father, he displayed his sporting genes early on by excelling at tennis and skating.

After his parents separated, he took up cricket and never looked back. Singh was the player of the tournament at the 2000 Under-19 World Cup won by India.

He followed it up by playing in all the three formats with senior team. His 69 off 63 balls in Lord's in the 2002 NatWest series final remains one of his most memorable knocks. His famous six sixes of the Stuart Broad over established him in the history books. Yuvraj was the vice-captain of the team that won the first ever T20 world cup.

He even grabbed the headlines for a rumoured relationship with Deepika Padukone, who was an upcoming actress at that time. Yuvraj also played a major role in India's famous 2011 World Cup win, bagging the Player of the Tournament. However, he faced a serious health hazard when he was diagnosed with a cancerous tumour in his left lung, soon after which he underwent chemotherapy in Boston.

Yuvraj is also involved in charity and helping cancer patients with his foundation. He is also deemed as one of the most expensive players to have ever played in the IPL. Happily married now, Yuvraj continues to fight for his place in the Indian Team like a champion.
