The king of hitting sixes, who won his battle with cancer and then made a huge comeback to international cricket currently wears Number 12. Yuvraj is one of the most experienced players in team India right now and is also a winner of two World titles.

The reason for this is that his birthday is on 12 December and interestingly December is the 12th and last month of the year. The importance of the birth date and time is very much valued in Indian cultures and hence, we see Yuvi roaring in Indian colors wearing number 12.

Another big reason for his obsession with number 12 is because he was born in sector 12 of Chandigarh which is the capital city of the northern Indian states Punjab and Haryana.
