Yuvraj Singh will play his 300th ODI match.
Yuvraj Singh is all set to make his 300th ODI appearance in Indian jersey when he steps out in the field against Bangladesh in the second semi-final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2017. The left-hander began his career in 2000 in the Knockout tournament against Kenya but didn’t get a chance to serve with the bat.
But the aggressive left-handed batsman didn’t waste much time and in his very second match, Yuvraj scored 84 against Australia. Prior to India’s encounter against Bangladesh, the Indian team held a special presentation for Yuvraj Singh. A memento was presented to Yuvraj by former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly.
