yuvaraj singh introduction

Every youngster in India dreams of making it to the Indian cricket team, and making a name amidst the crores of population that this country has got, not to forget the adulation the world over! Yuvraj Singh was just another kid watching TV and wondering .when he would pack some runs for himself representing India.

Passion undoes men to do strange things, one of them is chasing a dream. And every dream needs a kick-start – in Yuvraj’s case, good performances for Punjab and India Under 19s and the World Cup 2000 boosted him to go the first step towards chasing his dream. The captain who kick started it all for him was Sourav Ganguly.

Getting a look in to International cricket is always a challenge, especially for teenagers. Life does change in a matter of a few minutes that one spends in the middle of a vast green field surrounded by half a lakh people and millions watching glued to their television sets.


His ODI debut came about in the ODI against Kenya in the ICC Knockout in Kenya, which India easily made it through. His fellow debutants were Vijay Dahiya and Zaheer Khan. December 12 is Yuvraj’s actual birthday, but he would have rather had celebrated it on Oct 7, 2000, when his first ODI innings came about.
