Yuvraj Singh Hopeful To Return To Cricket Pitch In February 2022 Probably Participating For India Legends In Road Safety World Series

Yuvraj Singh, India’s star all-rounder, shocked the world in 2019 June when he came out for a press conference and announced his international retirement.

The left-handed batsman who was regarded as one of the top batsmen in white-ball cricket, and while he was in and out of the team at the time, and his best years were behind him, many believed that the Yuvraj Singh was good enough to make a comeback and announce his retirement in style.

Yuvraj Singh Represented Toronto Nationals And Maratha Arabians In Global Franchise Leagues

The hard-hitting batsmen competed in T20 leagues across the world after getting permission from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). He also showcased his dangerous skills in the Road Safety T20 series this year.  But unfortunately, the fans did not get to see Yuvraj Singh in India’s blue jersey, and soon after, he also announced retirement from domestic cricket.

After retiring from international cricket, the southpaw played in franchise cricket around the globe. He has represented Toronto Nationals in the GT20 League and has also played for the Maratha Arabians in Abu Dhabi T10. The left-handed batsman was last seen on the field in March 2021 during the Road Safety Series.

Yuvraj Singh Hopes He Will Be Back On The Pitch In February 2022

But now, it seems Yuvraj Singh is getting ready to make a return to cricket once again. In a late-night bombshell posted on his Instagram, the 39-year-old hinted that he may be returning to cricket in February next year. But looks like he specifically mentioned February because that is the time when the Road Safety World Series takes place. The left-hander is a key member of the India Legends outfit that is led by Sachin Tendulkar.

“God decides your destiny !! On public demand, I’ll be back on the pitch hopefully in February! Ain’t nothing like this feeling! Thank you for your love and wishes to mean a lot to me! Keep supporting it’s our team and a true fan will show his or her support in tough times,” he said.

It may be recalled that Yuvraj Singh won the Man of the Tournament title in the 2011 World Cup, where he performed superbly with both the bat and ball. He scored 362 runs at an average of 90.50 and claimed 15 wickets too. He played the best cricket of his life in the 2011 World Cup, which India won after a hiatus of 28 years, but he was diagnosed with cancer a few days after the World Cup’s conclusion.

While it remains unclear whether Yuvraj Singh will be returning to play for India or in T20 leagues, the fans will be still excited that they get to see the star batsman one more time on the cricket pitch. Yuvraj Singh played 40 Tests, 304 ODIs, and 58 T20Is during his storied career. He scored 11,778 runs across formats and took 148 wickets as well.
