Yuvraj Singh

Yuvraj Singh is a former Indian cricketer, entrepreneur and philanthropist who became one of the most recognisable match-winners in limited-overs cricket. Born in Chandigarh, he rose to prominence after being named Player of the Tournament at the 2000 ICC Under-19 World Cup before making his senior India debut later that year. A left-handed middle-order batter and useful slow left-arm bowler, Yuvraj developed a reputation for explosive strokeplay, athletic fielding and performances on the biggest stages.

His career includes the 2007 ICC World Twenty20 title, the famous six sixes in an over against England, and a defining role in India's 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup victory. Yuvraj was named Player of the Tournament in 2011 after scoring 362 runs and taking 15 wickets. Soon after that triumph, he faced a major personal challenge when he was diagnosed with cancer and underwent treatment before making a return to international cricket in 2012. He continued playing for India before announcing his international retirement in 2019.

Yuvraj's second career has expanded well beyond cricket. He established the YouWeCan Foundation to support cancer awareness, early detection, patient support and survivor empowerment, and launched YouWeCan Ventures as an investment platform for early-stage businesses. His investments have included companies across healthcare, education, travel, sports and consumer sectors. He has also been associated with consumer brands and other ventures. This combination of cricket achievements, entrepreneurship and philanthropy makes Yuvraj Singh's career, businesses and estimated net worth important parts of his public profile.
