Top ten cricketers from Punjab

#1. Yuvraj Singh

Aggressive, flamboyant and entertaining: Yuvraj at his best

In a cricket field, there are few things that Yuvraj Singh hasn't achieved. He has hit bowlers for six sixes in one over, has chased targets when the game was doomed long back, has pulled out stunners at point region, has hit the stumps with the batsman not even in the picture and most importantly has won his nation the world cup in ODI as well as T20Is.

But the ride has been anything but smooth. The prolific left-hander had to battle against inconsistency, flaws in technique while coping up with the white ball and other issues. But nothing stopped him from becoming one of India's most popular cricketers of all-time and his battle against cancer only added to his legendary status.

With close to nine thousand runs in 304 ODIs and 17 international hundreds, Yuvraj undoubtedly is one of the finest batsmen of the modern era but nothing defines him more than his world-cup exploits where he was at his brutal best.
