Yuvraj Singh was the Player of the Series in the 2011 World Cup, not only in India but crores of fans across the world bowed before him and saluted him, but after just 3 years this player changed from a hero to a villain. On Yuvraj Singh's 43rd birthday, know the story which perhaps this player will not be able to forget throughout his life. Let us tell you how the player who won 2 World Cups suddenly became a villain from a hero.

Yuvraj will not forget the night of April 6, 2014

Yuvraj Singh is known as Sixer King. There is a world record in his name for hitting 6 sixes in 6 balls. He has scored a half-century in 12 balls but on the night of April 6, 2014, perhaps Yuvraj Singh batted the worst of his career. This is the day when there was a war going on between India and Sri Lanka on the ground of Mirpur and the final of the T20 World Cup was at stake. How did Yuvraj Singh become the villain in this match and how did Team India miss the chance to win the T20 World Cup for the second time? Know his story.

21 ball clash

Yuvraj Singh, who hit a flurry of sixes and fours, played 21 balls in the title match against Sri Lanka and scored only 11 runs from his bat. His strike rate was 52.38 which is very shameful in T20 format. In the final of the T20 World Cup, Yuvraj Singh had entered the crease in the 11th over and this player got stuck as soon as he came. On the slow pitch of Mirpur, the ball was not coming on Yuvi's bat and in no time he played 9 dot balls.

Yuvraj Singh was out in the 19th over in that match and his mistake there was that he could not hit a single boundary in such a long time. Not even a four came off his bat. Not only this, 9 out of 21 balls were dotted on him. The result of Yuvraj's slow batting was that Team India could score only 130 runs in 20 overs and this target was very small for Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka won the T20 World Cup by losing just 4 wickets in 13 balls.

Stones thrown at Yuvraj's house

As soon as Team India lost the T20 World Cup in Mirpur, angry Indian fans laid siege to Yuvraj's house. Even stones were thrown at Yuvraj Singh's house in Chandigarh. The big thing is that Yuvraj Singh himself took responsibility for this defeat. Yuvraj Singh had said after this defeat that he was responsible for it. Yuvraj admitted that he had played very poorly that day.

Yuvraj said, 'I played a lot of dot balls in one or two overs. Malinga was bowling very well that day. Even MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli were not able to play him properly. I myself have admitted that I played poorly, the unfortunate thing is that it was the T20 World Cup final. Had it been any other match, there would not have been so much difference. Many people stopped talking to me. The media was shouting at me at the airport. Stones were thrown at my house, it was a difficult time, I was made to feel as if I was a criminal and I had shot someone in the head. When I reached home that day, I was looking at my bat with which I had hit 6 sixes. I was also looking at my India cap on it. That day I felt that my career was over.

Yuvraj made a wonderful comeback

Despite all these things, Yuvraj Singh did not give up. This player returned to the field again. This left-handed batsman played international cricket till 2017. Not only this, Yuvraj Singh's magic was visible in IPL also. In the same year when Yuvraj was accused of losing the T20 World Cup because of him, RCB bought him for a record price of Rs 14 crore in the IPL. Not only this, in the year 2015 itself, Yuvraj Singh was bought by Delhi Daredevils for a record price of Rs 16 crores. He became the most expensive Indian cricketer of that season. Overall, a lesson can be learned from the story of Yuvraj Singh that in life you change from a hero to a villain, but if you keep working hard and keep fighting the difficulties, then your times change again.
