India Champions captain Yuvraj Singh turned back the clock in his entertaining knock against West Indies Champions in World Championship of Legends 2024 on July 5. Yuvraj smashed 38 runs off 25 deliveries at Edgbaston before retiring hurt.
Leading the India Champions from the front, Yuvraj Singh smacked three fours and two sixes during his stay in the middle. The India Champions captain hit one of his two sixes against Sulieman Benn in the 12th over of the innings.
