Yuvraj Singh completing his trophy cabinet
Yuvraj Singh is one of India's greatest all-rounders. He has won every tournament there is to win in international cricket. Whether it is the Champions Trophy, U-19 World Cup, World Cup or the World T20, he has won it all. But when it comes to the IPL, his name was always synonymous with an unfulfilled prophecy.
He had been moved around for big money but still that elusive maiden Indian Premier League title eluded him. Yet, 2016 proved to be the year in which he got that elusive medal that had evaded him since 2008. Despite missing the start of the season due to injury, he came back and provided the balance that the Sunrisers Hyderabad were looking for in the middle-order.
Although he didn't contribute a bucketload of runs, the form of both David Warner and Shikhar Dhawan meant that he didn't have to and all they needed from him were cameos and that he provided perfectly. All of which meant that not only did Sunrisers claim their maiden IPL title but Yuvraj Singh added that elusive IPL trophy to his kitty as well.
