India’s veteran batsman Yuvraj Singh, on Thursday (June 15), joined the elite club consisting of batting great Sachin Tendulkar, former Indian skippers Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and Mohammad Azharuddin when he stepped out on the field during India’s Champions Trophy semifinal clash against Bangladesh as it was his 300th One-Day International game.
But as the milestone man was celebrating his incredible achievement, another man or shall we say Yuvraj Singh part 2 stole the show outside the stadium in Birmingham. The fan had an uncanny resemblance with the Indian batting star and even Yuvraj Singh was looking amused to pose alongside his doppelganger for a photograph. Sporting a similar beard, wearing Indian jersey and reflectors, Yuvraj’s doppelganger would have surely caused a bit of confusion at the stadium.
The BCCI posted a photo of the duo sharing a smile outside the stadium after India thrashed Bangladesh to enter the final of the tournament.

Yuvraj might have shared a smile with his lookalike but it seems India’s batting star thinks there can be no one aelse like him. After BCCI posted the photo, the southpaw tweeted:
No chance ?

However, some people were really impressed with the doppelganger and Robin Uthappa and Sania Mirza were two of them.
Hahahahahahaha ????

Meanwhile, India will take on Pakistan in the final of the Champions Trophy on Sunday (June 18). The Men in Blue stormed into the summit clash with a comprehensive 9-wicket win over Bangladesh.
After Virat Kohli decided to field first, Bhuvneshwar Kumar justified his decision straightaway by dismissing Soumya Sarkar and Sabbir Rahman. However, Bangladesh clawed their way back into the match courtesy of a 123-run stand between Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rahim as the duo laid the foundation for a good total. But once the former was dismissed by Kedar Jadhav for 70, Bangladesh lost their track and managed to post 264 for seven.
In reply, India chased down the total with utmost ease by losing just 1 wicket inside 41 overs with Rohit Sharma leading the way with a brilliant knock of 123 runs. He was well-supported by skipper Virat Kohli who remained unbeaten on 96.
