Yuvraj said that he had been thinking about retirement for a long time and now his plan is to play in ICC recognized T20 tournaments.

Recalling his cricket career, Yuvraj said, “I have seen many ups and downs in our career of 25 years and especially 17 years of international career. Now I have decided to move forward. This game taught me how to fight, fall, then get up and move on. ‘

Yuvraj Singh has not played for a long time since the Indian team. Yuvraj Singh has played 40 Tests from the Indian team, in which he has scored 1900 runs at an average of 33.92. Which includes 3 centuries and 11 half-centuries.

The swashbuckling left-hander was instrumental in India lifting the maiden World T-20 in 2007. 4 years later his all round show helped team India win the world cup after a gap of 28 years. Later it was revealed that he was struggling with cancer during the tournament in which he was the man of the tournament for his all-round show.

He was never quite able to replicate his Indian team heroics in the IPL and was constantly drafted from one team to another. His last team was Mumbai Indians which won the title this year.
