Yuvraj Singh is hailed as the one of the finest white-ball players to play the sport, a match-winner who proved it at the biggest stage -- playing a key role in India's T20I and ODI World Cup triumphs under MS Dhoni. But the unfortunate diagnosis of lung cancer after the 2011 World Cup saw his cricket career drift away slowly, until he decided to retire in June 2019 after being repeatedly overlooked.
Yuvraj had made a remarkable recovery to return to the team in December 2012, but he wasn't picked for the 2013 Champions Trophy. He didn't give up and made another comeback bid after Dhoni passed on the captaincy baton to Virat Kohli.
