The legacy of Yuvraj Singh

Many cricketers in the past have joined politics as a career option after retiring from cricket. The likes of Gautam Gambhir, Imran Khan, Manoj Tiwary and others have done it. However, not many fans have valued them the same after joining politics. Fans believe that the cricketers should not join politics as it could harm their image. Hence, many cricketers have refused to join politics.

The legacy of Yuvraj is with his cricketing abilities. The star batter was a part of the Indian team that won the U19 WC in 2000, the Champions Trophy in 2002, the T20 World Cup in 2007, and the ODI World Cup in 2011. Yuvraj was the player of the tournament in the ODI WC 2011 where he showed an incredible prowess as an All-rounder despite suffering from cancer. Fans remember his contribution to India to date.
