Yuvraj Singh (born 12 December 1981 in Chandigarh, India) is the son of former
Indian fast bowler and Punjabi movie star Yograj Singh. He has been a member of
the Indian cricket team since 2000 (ODIs) and played his first Test match in
2003. He is the current vice captain of the ODI team. At the 2007 World Twenty20
he hit six sixes in an over against England's Stuart Broad - a feat only
performed three times previously in any form of senior cricket, and never
previously in an international match between two Test cricket nations.
Yuvraj is primarily a left-handed batsman but can bowl part-time left-arm
orthodox spin. He is regarded as being a better player of fast bowling than spin
bowling, and cites the Indian Oil Cup 2005 as a turning point in his career. He
is one of the better fielders in the Indian team, fielding primarily at point,
with a good aim at the stumps.
