Like many of his fellow Indian cricketers, Yuvi made a fortune from his successful playing career. Here is the complete Yuvraj Singh Net Worth…
Indian cricket went through a rough patch in the late 1990s. BCCI had sacked the former Indian skipper Mohammad Azharuddin for allegations of being involved in match-fixing. India tried a lot of new captains including Sachin Tendulkar, but yet couldn’t find a good replacement. India eventually found a new leader by the name Sourav Ganguly. ‘Dada’ introduced a new brand of cricket and created an all new Indian squad with extremely energetic young cricketers. In the ICC Knockout Cup 2000, Ganguly selected a young talented cricketer from Chandigarh.
This 19 year-old lad had recently lifted the ICC U-19 World Cup for India as a captain as well as the Player of the Tournament. He didn’t disappoint the selectors and the Indian fans. He scored a blistering 84 off just 80 balls against the world champions Australia and knocked them out in the quarter-final. This was his very second International match! Yuvraj Singh very effectively sent a message across that he was going to be in this business for a long time and will eventually become the ‘Prince of Indian cricket’. Yuvi has had an illustrated 17 years long cricket career and has eventually been rewarded for it correctly. Let us have a look at Yuvraj Singh net worth, earnings and salary.
