Former Indian all-rounder, Yuvraj Singh can be easily considered as one of the best all-rounders India has ever produced. He was the man for the big occasions. Throughout his cricket career, Yuvraj had often seen playing some match-defining knocks to bail India out from a difficult situation and take them closer to victory. He played a crucial role in India winning the two prestigious trophies namely the 2007 ICC T20 World Cup and the 2011 ICC World Cup.
While Yuvraj was a notable personality in limited-overs cricket, he failed to do much of the Indian team in the longest format of the game. In his illustrious international career of 17 years, the southpaw played as many as 304 ODIs and 58 T20 Internationals scoring 8701 and 1177 runs respectively at a strike rate of 87.7 and 136.4 respectively.

Yuvraj Singh also scalped 111 and 28 wickets in ODIs and T20Is respectively and maintained an economy rate of 5.10 and 7.06. While Yuvraj boasts of having remarkable numbers to his name in the limited-overs cricket, the same can’t be said for his Test career. The 39-year-old made his debut in the longest format in 2003 with a match against New Zealand.
In his entire career, Yuvraj Singh only played 40 Tests in which he has scored 40 Test matches scoring 1900 runs and picking 9 wickets. Yuvraj Singh isn’t happy with the way in the purest format of the game and he hinted towards the same with his latest tweet. On May 19, Wisden India posted a picture on social media Yurab Singh asking the cricket fans to name the cricketer who should have donned Whites for a longer period in his cricket career.

The tweet by Wisden caught the attention of veteran Indian all-rounder too and he replied, “Probably next life! When I’m not 12th man for 7 years”
Probably next life! When I’m not 12th man for 7 years 🤪
