At the New Chandigarh Stadium, stands were erected in honour of former India men’s all-rounder Yuvraj Singh and India women’s captain Harmanpreet Kaur. Before the second men’s Twenty20 International between South Africa and India began at the venue, the stands were officially opened.
Yuvraj and Harmanpreet were at the stadium with their family, teammates, and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. During the pre-match huddle, Yuvraj was also spotted motivating the Indian squad.
After making his debut for India in 2000, Yuvraj withdrew from international cricket in 2019. He last played for India in 2017. He has played 40 Test matches, 304 ODIs, and 58 T20Is. Yuvraj, a reliable middle-order batsman and left-arm spinner, helped India win the first T20 World Cup in 2007. With 362 runs and 15 wickets throughout India’s triumphant campaign, he finished as Player of the Series, capping off an incredible run at the 2011 ODI World Cup.
One of the most important people in women’s cricket is Harmanpreet, who led India to their first-ever Women’s World Cup victory in November of this year. Since making her debut for India in 2009, this aggressive hitter has participated in six Test matches, 161 ODIs, and 182 T20Is. She has scored 3654 runs in T20Is and 4409 runs in ODIs.
