The Punjab left-hander was part of the Indian setup for the 2000 Under-19 World Cup in Sri Lanka and was India's second highest run-getter in the competition with 203 runs in 8 matches at an average of 33, eventually featuring in the side that lifted the trophy.
Later that year, India embarked on a trip to Kenya for the ICC Knockout Trophy and Yuvraj was one of the few youngsters picked for the event.
He sparkled in the few chances that he got, making a superb 84 against Australia to help the Men In Blue enter the semifinals. Safe to say, the left-hander has not looked back since.
