5 Indians whose Careers went Downhill after winning the 2011 World Cup

#1 Yuvraj Singh

Yuvraj Singh's career got derailed due to Cancer after being the Man of the Tournament in the World Cup

A stylish batsman, a handy bowler and an excellent fielder, Yuvraj Singh was probably the biggest talent unleashed by India before the Virat Kohli era.

Yuvraj came into the team at a very young age, took some time to cement his place but eventually became the mainstay of the Indian middle order.

While his batting prowess was always well known, it was Yuvraj’s bowling that became the X-factor for India in the 2011 world cup.

Yuvraj bowled the full quota of ten overs consistently for India and was the second highest wicket-taker for them, providing the elusive balance to the team that they always craved for. He won the man of the tournament in India’s triumphant campaign.

But destiny had something terrible written for Yuvraj, as he got diagnosed with cancer at the young age. It turned out that he was batting the problem all through the world cup.

He had to undergo rigorous treatment, and while he made several comebacks to the team, he could never achieve all that he could have done, had his career not been forced into such an unfortunate break.

He is still trying to play for India again in 2019 world cup, but his illustrious career of 304 ODIs and 8701 runs seems all but over.
