Yuvi's potential return to cricket

After announcing his retirement in 2019, Yuvraj Singh has announced that he might make a comeback to cricket. As one of the most popular players in the game, Yuvi's decision has gotten fans very excited at the prospect of getting to watch him again. Yuvi has not played for the Indian team since his ODI game against West Indies in 2017. He played his last T20 game in India in the 2019 edition of the Dream11 IPL for the Mumbai team. he has since been a part of other international cricket franchises. 

Last month, the prolific allrounder announced his decision to return to domestic cricket for Punjab. The chairman of the Punjab Cricket Association Puneet Bali said that they had approached Singh to play and mentor the Punjab side. His return to cricket is said to have been inspired by the time he spent training younger Punjab players like Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Prabhsimran Singh and Anmolpreet Singh. While Gill has become a mainstay of the Kolkata opening lineup, Abhishek Sharma has proven useful to the Hyderabad side on multiple occasions.
