5 reasons why the whole world loves Yuvraj Singh

#2 India’s World Cup hero

As the 2011 World Cup took place in the sub-continent, India ended a 28-year long wait as they lifted the trophy on April 2, 2011 when they defeated Sri Lanka in the finals of the tournament at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

It was Sachin Tendulkar’s last world cup, and while he was the one who was being carried around on everyone’s shoulders when India won the final match, it was Yuvraj who had been the star of the tournament with his incredible performances.

In 8 matches, he scored 362 runs with the bat and picked up 15 wickets.
