Yuvraj Singh ( born 12 December 1981 in a Jat family from Chandigarh, India) is a cricketer from India, and 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 was the vice captain of the ODI team from late-2007 to late-2008. 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 first came to attention when he captained the U-19 Punjab cricket team in the final of the Cooch-Behar Trophy against Bihar U-19s, in which he scored 358. He then gained selection for the U-19 World Cup in Sri Lanka in January 2000, where he was part of a team lead by Mohammed Kaif which won the tournament. Yuvraj was subsequently selected in 2000 for the first intake of the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore
Yuvraj made his One Day International debut against Kenya at Nairobi in 2000, at the ICC KnockOut Trophy. He showed his potential in his second ODI which was against the Australians where he scored a quickfire 84 off 82 balls against a quality pace attack consisting of bowlers like Glenn McGrath, Brett Lee and Jason Gillespie. However, after a lean run of form, he was dropped for the one-dayers against Australia in India in early 2001, but returned later in the year and helped India to victory in a match in Sri Lanka with an unbeaten 98.

Former Indian cricketer Yograj Singh, who is the father of cricket star Yuvraj Singh, Thursday lost his maiden election from Haryana’s Panchkula assembly seat.
Yograj, who was fielded by the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD), was defeated by Congress candidate Devender Kumar Bansal from the Panchkula seat, adjoining state capital Chandigarh, by over 12,250 votes.
Yuvraj had not come to campaign for his father, who had put up posters of his celebrity son. At one point Yograj was trailing at fourth place among main candidates but recovered later to end runner-up in the election.
Yograj had played one test match and six one day internationals for India against Australia in 1980 during a trip Down-under.

Love is in the air for cricketer Yuvraj Singh. The buzz is that he has lost his heart to Karishma Kotak, a successful model and a Telegu film actress.A source from the film industry said, âÂÂYuvraj Singh has been seeing Karishma Kotak for a while now. The two are often seen together at suburban hangouts and five-star hotels. They make no bones about being spotted together and are pretty cosy in each otherâÂÂs company. Their relationship is going strong and both seem extremely happy with each other.âÂÂKnowing that it is a common practice among celebrities to brush off their budding relationships as âÂÂgood friendshipsâÂÂ, we first inquired with Karishma about her stay in Mumbai, since she is from London. Karishma said, âÂÂI am born and brought up in London, and have been staying in Mumbai for the past two and a half years. I have made some interesting friends among which there are several actors and one cricketer.âÂÂBiting the bait, we pressed her further as to which cricketer she was taking about. Karishma replied, âÂÂI canâÂÂt reveal his name, but yes, heâÂÂs a close friend of mine.âÂÂ

As per the fresh guidelines, the players have been advised to report to police at least three hours in advance if he wishes to go out of his place of stay which is hotel Taj in Chandigarh.
“The players of both the teams have been advised not to talk to any stranger and not to go out together,” Doon said. Besides, additional Personal Security guards (PSOs) have been attached with players to provide them security anyweher and everywhere.
Yuvraj on Thursday night had put the police in a tight spot after he went to a petrol pump owned by his father and former Cricketer Yograj Singh. Immediately a police team was rushed to spot which also escorted the player to a Sikh shrine in Sohana near Chandigarh.
Doon had written a letter with fresh guidelines directly to players and other officials of both the teams, sources said. Even as players are kept under a tight security vigil, the spectators visiting the stadium had to pass through at least four rounds of security checks before entering the stadium.

Posted by admin December 16, 2008 Leave a Review
Whenever cricketer Yuvraj Singh is in Chandigarh, he's seen driving his BMW convertible car. But the craze for luxury cars in Punjab is not limited to star personalities like him. Twenty five-year-old Fulbagh always wanted to drive a BMW. And he finally got one last month. The economic slowdown may have hit his real estate business hard, but that didn't stop Fulbagh from spending Rs 40 lakh to fulfill his dream.

Yuvraj Singh recalled in the test team!
Posted by admin December 9, 2008 Leave a Review
I’m so pleased Yuvraj Singh has been recalled in the test team! He’s been dynamite in the ODIs and is in enormous shape. He sure will acquire himself a established place in the Indian test team. I’m no selector on the board but in my fantasy cricket team Yuvi will always have a position for sure.
I played the India England ODIs on Indian Fantasy League and did well , Yuvi did not let me down and I hope for the same in the India England test matches! Check out my team on : www.indianfantasyleague.com

Yuvraj Singh’s brother prepares to enter Bollywood
Posted by admin August 7, 2008 Leave a Review
Mumbai, (IANS) Cricketer Yuvraj Singh’s younger brother Zoravar is preparing to enter Bollywood. He is taking the best possible training to make it big in filmdom, said his father.
“Zoravar has joined Kishore Namit Kapoor’s Acting Institute just 15 days back. He will be there for a year and take training in various aspects of acting. We will launch him in a big way, but it is too early to say anything more about it,” father Yograj Singh told IANS over phone.
Yograj, who himself has acted in more than 150 Punjabi films in a career span of 30 years, says Zoravar has all the qualities to be an actor.
“He is 6.4 ft tall and is working on everything, which makes a good actor. Besides, he has inherited many of my qualities. As a father, I want him to work hard to earn success for himself. I want him to make his own identity.”
“He is 19 years old and I will make sure he fights his own battle,” said Yograj who is playing an important role in the TV series “Mohe Rang De”.
Yograj started his career as a cricketer and was part of the Indian team for a brief period. He said he wanted Zoravar to be a cricketer, but destiny seems to have planned something else for him.
“I had completely overlooked Zoravar during his growing age because I was concentrating on Yuvraj. Later, I realised that it was too late. But I’m happy with the present situation too, as my two sons will represent both my qualities - Yuvraj as player and Zoravar as actor.”
Asked about Yuvraj getting into acting, Yograj said: “I will never allow Yuvraj to get into acting until he is 40. He has to play a lot of cricket for the country. I want him to score 15,000 runs in test cricket.”
