Style of P lay
Yuvraj during fielding practice.
Yuvraj is primarily a left-handed batsman but can bowl part-time left-arm

orthodox spin, which he improved in the latter part of his career. He is

regarded as a better batsman against fast bowling than spin bowling, and
cites the Indian Oil Cup 2005 as a turning point in his career.[24] Yuvraj is
one of the athletic fielders in the Indian team, fielding primarily at point &
covers with a good aim at the stumps. Yuvraj is a natural strokeplayer
with an aggressive style of play, as seen by his strike rate of above 150 in
T20 internationals & just below 90 in ODIs. Many regard him as one of the
best clean strikers of the ball, with his trademark punch through the
covers a treat to watch. When in good touch, he can clear the ropes quite
effortlessly. A Cricinfo report published in late 2005 showed that since
1999, he was the fourth most prolific fielder in affecting ODI run outs, and
of those on the list of prolific fielders, he had the second highest rate of
effecting a run out.[25] He was previously often characterised as having
attitude problems,[26] but later often assumed leadership positions during
Rahul Dravid's tenure as captain.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India nominated Yuvraj Singh for the
Arjuna Award, after his man of the series performance in the 2011 World
Cup.[27] Yuvraj's much awaited second innings after 10 month sabbatical
was washed out by rain on 8th sep. However he made his entry on 11
September 2012 in the second and final T20 match of the series.

T20 career

On 19 September 2007 against England in

the ICC World Twenty20 Super 8 match held

at Kingsmead in Durban, he hit 6 sixes off
one Stuart Broad over. This helped him to
reach the fastest fifty ever in Twenty20
game, off just 12 balls and also the fastest
in any form of international cricket. This
was the fourth time that six sixes had been
hit in one over in senior cricket, the first
time in Twenty20 cricket, and the first time
in any form of international cricket against
a bowler from a test playing nation.
