At his peek one of the best ODI players......at that time for me he was infact the best ODI cricketer in the team

Hope BCCI looks at him for chief selector job, need fresh blood and ideas and someone who understand modern game. I have heard him a lot of time talking about young player and can easily say he n gambhir both have a great eye for young talent 

[R!TTER]

India' biggest match winner in our two most iconic wins since 83, as destructive as any other batter in his peak!

[Suhaan]

He served the two wc trophies on a platter to MSD

For Dhoni,there was Yuvraj who always watched his back in tough times

[rageaddict]

Still remember his debut innings during the 2000 ICC knock out tournament where the 18 year old  announced himself on the World stage with  confident knock against an Australian attack consisting of Mc Grath, Brett Lee then came the Natwest Moment in 2002 and from thereon he became the most important member of the side in both departments for the next decade where he eventually lead the team to World Cup Glory after 28 years. 

 

Sachin had always been contributing at the top but because of a weak middle order India often fell short of the target so Yuvraj emergence was very vital to success that team India enjoyed in the 2000s , First by forming crucial partnerships with Mohammed Kaif and then with MSD in the middle order. 

 

A batsman like Yuvraj can hold the team together for a generation,  India was lucky to have found him at the right time which can be assessed from the fact that India is yet to find an able replacement for him inspite of trying many others like Jadhav,  Rahane, Pandey,  Rahul in the middle order. 

 

Was finished as a player after 2011 and could never regain his old form. Still played like a Champion in his peak years. 

 

Thanks for the memories Yuvi.

Yuvi on song was breathtaking to watch. Legend. 

[rageaddict]

Also was an exceptional fielder before he put on weight during his later years. Remember that catch of Jonty Rhodes during 2002 Champions Trophy and many other catches that he took diving in the air.

[Sachinism]

Absolute champion player. 

Had his down times, but on form an absolute beast LOI player. Game-winner

[Mosher]

Champion cricketer and a fighter.

India's Michael Bevan . Key player in 2007 WT20 and 2011 WC wins.

 

He could have been a good test match player too but him & Kaif got sandwitched between Sachin generation & Virat generation. Unfortunately, his 40 test caps were mostly sporadic as a replacement for an injured player from Fab 4 . He had a great chance to cement test place in 2011 after world cup win  and retirement of Dravid and Laxman in that season. Unfortunately, his battle with cancer came at a wrong time. He would have cemented his test place if not for that rendering him half the player he was.

What a player, on his day he could take any attack to the cleaners, cleanest striker of the cricket ball. Powerful hitter and timer. OTG. 

[philcric]

One of our best LOI players ever.

 

Timing, power and style .. his batting was gorgeous when on song.

 

MVP of our ODI WC and T20 WC wins.

 

Great memories.

we use to crap when chasing earlier , if sachin gets out early most of the time our batsmen end up panikcing ..

uv and kaif and then yuvi + msd completely changed our game when chasing  

[Soorma_Bhopali]

I think he retired from International cricket. Will he be playing in foreign leagues like Big Bash ,BPL or CPL now ?

Yes. We were horrible chasing before Yuvi's time.

 

Got much better at chasing with Yuvi, Kaif ... then Yuvi, Dravid ... then Yuvi, MSD, Raina.

[Chalks]

Hail the Yuviness.

 

Best of everything in retirement, champion.

Congrats on a great career Yuvi, tons of love, respect and gratitude. No other cricketer has given me as much joy as Yuvi in full flow. Went beyond showmanship during certain occasions like Buchanan said after that blistering 139 in 2004 CB series against ATG Aus. I will remember the Yuvi of 2000-2011, hope the post cancer version of him isn't a reason for people to underrate a white ball ATG.
