Yuvraj Singh’s Untold Stories ft. Sharda Ugra | A Century of Stories: Cricket | Ep 58

A proper box-office cricketer who entertained with both bat and ball, Yuvraj Singh’s life and career also had all the ingredients of a blockbuster movie. His father’s obsession to make a cricketer out of him, the change he brought to the Indian team, his struggles to find a place in Tests despite obvious talent and his comeback after a battle with Cancer are some of the many chapters that make Yuvraj’s career so fascinating. Ace journalist Sharda Ugra, who co-authored a book with the cricketer after his comeback to the game in 2013, tells us the stories that made Yuvraj Singh the larger-than-life figure that he went on to become in this episode of A Century of Stories: Cricket podcast presented by IDFC FIRST Bank. ----------- The complementing visuals or b-rolls (both images & videos) used in the video are either AI-generated or have been acquired from a licensed source.
