A Short Span in Cricket

Singh made his Test debut at Wellington versus New Zealand during India’s 1980-81 tour of Australia and New Zealand. India lost that Test by 62 runs. He just bowled in the first innings and had figures of 1/63. His sole Test wicket came in the form of John Wright.

Yograj's performances in the ODIs weren’t up to the mark either. In 5 innings, he took just 4 wickets at an average of 46.50.

Singh played in seven first-class matches on the tour and returned with only 13 wickets.

He played 30 first-class matches for Haryana and Punjab. Singh scalped 66 wickets at an average of 26.60.

The Controversy King

The former cricketer has landed himself in trouble multiple times, mostly because of his comments in the media. Once he was in the news for his comments regarding MS Dhoni, the captain for the Indian team, at the time. Singh claimed that MS Dhoni was behind Yuvraj Singh's expulsion from the 2015 World Cup team and alleged that Dhoni has become 'great' just because of the hype generated by the media. He also remarked: "There will be a day when Dhoni will be left to beg and become penniless and would not get any favor."

Earlier, in the year 2014, Yuvraj Singh’s father was arrested by Haryana Police in connection with an alleged dispute over car parking in Panchkula.

He’s often in the news because of his controversial comments.
