Arguably one of the greatest white-ball batters this game has ever seen, Yuvraj Singh’s tale is quite fascinating. From fighting death to being the hero behind India’s world-cup victories, Yuvraj never fails to inspire. A trailblazer in his own right, Yuvi’s two-decades long career has seen him be the core of the Indian middle-order. Given a vastly successful career Yuvi’s had in international cricket, his on-field exploits have in return garnered his personal property as well. The following article provides an insightful look at the financial assets and net worth of Yuvraj Singh.
Cricketing Career
Yuvraj was forced into cricket by his father Yograj Singh who wanted his son to be a cricketer and fulfill his dream of representing India. Yuvraj put years in the grind and his on-field exploits gave him a call-up to the Indian side for the 2000 under-19 world cup. Belonging to the same batch of cricketers like MS Dhoni, Gautam Gambhir, Mohammad Kaif, Yuvi was rated the highest. He was soon called-up to the national side for the ICC Knockouts Cup in 2000 and his performances earned him a spot in the side. He assumed the role of the finisher who could chip in a few handy overs as well while producing the goods with the bat. His heroics in the 2002 NatWest Series Finals alongside Mohammad Kaif gave a glimpse of what was about to arrive.
World Cup Winner
Yuvi was a part of two unsuccessful campaigns during the 2003 and 2007 World Cups. However, he shot to fame when he hit 6 consecutive sixes against England during the 2007 T20 World Cup. His all-round brilliance fueled India to be the undisputed champions of the world as Yuvraj continued to dominate. In addition to this, Yuvraj was one of the key reasons behind India’s 2011 World Cup win as the Punjab-born was adjudged man of the tournament for his contributions on the field. A 2-time world cup winner at 29, Yuvi was at the peak of his career but things were about to take a massive hit.
Cancer and Comeback
In late 2011, Yuvi was diagnosed with lung cancer as the Southpaw was had to take time off from the field. For someone who was told that he could probably never walk again, Yuvi was back representing his motherland in less than a year. Some may say that Yuvraj could’ve gone on to be India’s greatest white-ball batter had it not been for cancer but that depends on your school of thought. Despite several comebacks to the national side and multiple ICC tournament participations, Yuvi was never the same again. He was among the list of players to be written off following the 2017 Champions Trophy defeat to Pakistan but he was never called up to the national side again. In June 2019, after being out for almost two full years from international cricket, Yuvraj Singh; at the age of 37, announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.
Annual Salary
Having retired from all forms of cricket since 2019, Yuvraj Singh gets a monthly sum of INR 5000 in the form of a pension. He hasn’t played any major cricket league since then apart from a short stint in the T20 Leagues and the G20 in Canada. Yuvi’s last salary came in the form of a salary from Mumbai Indians when he was a part of their successful campaign in 2019. He also captained the Toronto Nationals in the Global T20 Canada, where his draught price was INR 17.25 lakhs. He was bought by the Mumbai-based franchise for INR 1 Crore. However, this contract became invalid post his retirement from international cricket.
