My Take
Yuvraj Singh sits in rare company for me. A left-handed middle-order batsman from Chandigarh who also bowled slow left-arm, he carried the dual burden of being an all-rounder and a national icon at once. Seven ODI Player of the Series awards, level with Sourav Ganguly, tells you he saved his best for the biggest moments. The Arjuna Award and Padma Shri only confirm what fans already felt. What moves me most is imagining the weight of a billion expectations on every innings, and how he kept rising to meet it. Cricket may baffle me, but his temperament under pressure earns my deep respect.
