On the field, he was one of the best in his time. In his personal life, the way he fought cancer and came back to cricket is truly inspiring. He has given ‘The CSR Journal Pride of India Award 2023’.
Yuvraj Singh the Pride of India:
India has an uncountable number of cricket talents. Fans across the globe have been inspired by them. Yuvraj Singh stands tall between all of them. Undoubtedly, as a cricketer, he is one of the best. An exceptional all-rounder like him has still not been found. In batting, bowling, and even in fielding, this superstar was greater than others. His stylish batting technique was soothing to watch.
He played 304 ODIs and scored 8701 runs. His 6sixes in an over will be remembered in world cricket forever. From the Natwest final to the 2011 World Cup, the glorious chapter of Yuvraj Singh’s life was not over yet. After the 2011 World Cup, this southpaw was affected by cancer in the lungs. After that, he went through a long recovery process. In his way, he defeated cancer and came back to cricket. After that, he founded an organization called ‘YouWeCan’ where he helped cancer patients. This all-rounder never fails to inspire people.
An Award for Him:
Yuvraj Singh has been praised for his gesture over the years. Even after retiring from cricket, he is inspiring everyone every day. Another award was added to his bag. In the 6th edition of The CSR Journal Excellence Awards, he was awarded ‘Pride of India 2023’. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh was the chief guest. That event was organized on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
After receiving this award, Yuvraj Singh expressed his gratitude.
