Profile
Probably the most naturally-gifted left-hander, Yuvraj Singh made his international debut at a tender age of 19. His ability to hit the ball long and clean was recognized right away. He made an immediate impact on the international stage with his scintillating stroke play. Since then he has more or less been a permanent fixture in the ODI side.Although it seemed like Yuvraj was troubled by quality spin, he did not let it deter him. His handy left-arm spin combined with his agility have made him an important part of the team set-up. His ability to play crucial innings when it really matters has earned him the tag of a match-winner. He rocked the ICC World Twenty20 2007 by clobbering 6 consecutive sixes off a Stuart Broad over for the fastest fifty ever in cricket. Many critics tip 'Yuvi' to be a future captain of Indian cricket but he is yet to prove his calibre in the Test arena.
