Yuvraj Singh announces retirement from cricket

The ICC World Cup 2011 hero Yuvraj Singh announced his retirement from international cricket on Monday. Yuvraj featured in 40 Tests, 304 ODIs and 58 T20Is for Team India. The legendary all-rounder will always be remembered as the architect of India's World Cup wins in 2007 and 2011. He even battled cancer and scripted an unthinkable comeback to cricket. Here is all about it.

In 304 ODIs, he scored 8,701 runs, including 14 centuries, and the highest score of 150. In 40 Tests, he slammed 1,900 runs, including three centuries and the highest score of 169.

Yuvraj made a name for himself, leading India to their historic NatWest ODI series win in England in 2002.

Four years later, he again proved his worth by winning the ICC World Cup in India.
