Yuvraj Singh’s entry in T20 World Cup 2024!

The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 will take place just a few days after the conclusion of IPL 2024. The tournament will be co-hosted by the US and West Indies from June 1 to June 29. ICC has already announced the schedule of the tournament. Now ICC has given a big responsibility to the former star all-rounder of the Indian team Yuvraj Singh. 

ICC has announced former T20 World Cup 2024 winner Yuvraj Singh as the ambassador for the upcoming edition. The left-handed all-rounder played an important role in the Indian team winning the T20 World Cup in 2007 and he also made a tremendous record of hitting six sixes in an over. During that time, Yuvi also scored a half-century in 12 balls, which remained the record for the fastest half-century in the shortest format for a long time.

‘It is a matter of pride for me’ – Yuvraj Singh 

On being made the ambassador by ICC, Yuvraj Singh said, 

‘I have some good memories related to the T20 World Cup, which also includes hitting six sixes in an over, so being a part of it is great. Very exciting. This will be the biggest event ever organized. It is a matter of pride for me to be a part of it. 

He further said, ‘India’s clash against Pakistan in New York is going to be one of the biggest sporting events in the world this year, so it is a privilege to be a part of it and see the world’s best players playing in a new stadium.’

ICC General Manager Claire Furlong said it is an honor to appoint Yuvraj Singh as the Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 Ambassador. The 6 sixes he hit in one over in 2007 is one of the special moments of the T20 World Cup. 

Apart from Yuvraj Singh, Chris Gayle and Usain Bolt have also been made ambassadors for this tournament. All these greats together will increase the enthusiasm of the fans for the T20 World Cup. A total of 20 teams will participate in this event starting from June 1, in which some tremendous players will be seen and the fans will get to see a lot of fours and sixes.
