Yuvraj Singh, renowned as one of India’s finest cricketers of the new millennium, has refuted reports suggesting his candidacy in the Gurdaspur elections, Punjab.

Despite retiring from cricket, Yuvraj remains actively engaged in philanthropic endeavors off the field. Clarifying his stance on electoral participation, he affirmed, “Contrary to media reports, I’m not contesting elections from Gurdaspur. My passion lies in supporting and aiding people through my foundation @YOUWECAN. Let’s continue making a difference together to the best of our abilities.”

Recently, Yuvraj Singh shared his insights on the captaincy change at Mumbai Indians, where Hardik Pandya succeeded Rohit Sharma. Acknowledging the franchise’s emphasis on long-term planning, he emphasized the irreplaceable value of experience embodied by Rohit Sharma. In an interview with the Times of India, Yuvraj remarked, “In franchise cricket, the transition becomes inevitable as players age.
