“I am deeply honored that my story will be showcased to millions of my fans across the globe by Bhushan ji and Ravi. Cricket has been my greatest love and source of strength through all the highs and lows.

Vision of Bhushan Kumar
Bhushan, who is spearheading the project, shared his excitement about bringing Yuvraj’s life story to the big screen. The film will potentially celebrate Yuvraj’s remarkable achievements, including his unforgettable performance in the T20 World Cup 2007, where he famously hit six sixes in an over off England’s Stuart Broad. Additionally, it will highlight his off-field battles, particularly his fight against cancer, which he overcame to return to the cricket field and continue his illustrious career.
“Yuvraj Singh’s life is a compelling narrative of resilience, triumph, and passion. His journey from a promising cricketer to a cricketing hero, and then to a hero in real life, is truly inspiring. I am thrilled to bring a story that needs to be told and heard through the big screen and to celebrate his extraordinary achievements,” Bhushan said.
A master in white-ball cricket
While Yuvraj’s Test career may not have reached the heights he might have hoped for, his prowess in white-ball cricket was exceptional. Known for his ability to hit the ball long and clean, his backlift and flow were admired by many aspiring cricketers. Yuvraj played 304 One-Day Internationals (ODIs) for India, scoring 8,701 runs at an average of 37 and a strike rate of 87.67, including 14 centuries and 52 fifties. His standout performance came during the 2011 World Cup, where he amassed 362 runs, took 15 wickets, and earned four Player of the Match awards, eventually being named the Player of the Tournament.
