The one who taught me that the only finish line worth crossing is the one you reach by never giving up! Lots of love,” tagging his father’s handle, @yograjofficial.
Yograj Singh, a former India cricketer and an actor, is remembered for his strict, disciplinarian parenting — often described by Yuvraj as both demanding and defining. The lessons of hard work, mental toughness, and the refusal to quit clearly influenced Yuvraj’s remarkable journey through Indian cricket, from a flamboyant match-winner to a cancer survivor who made an inspiring comeback.One of India’s greatest limited-overs match-winners, Yuvraj played 402 international matches between 2000 and 2017, amassing over 11,000 runs. He was central to India’s historic 2011 World Cup win, earning the Player of the Tournament award for his all-round brilliance – 362 runs and 15 wickets. He also etched his name in history with six sixes in an over during the 2007 T20 World Cup.
While Yuvraj has often spoken about the tough love he received from his father, this public message reflected a softer, more thankful side of that bond — one built on grit, legacy, and enduring love.
