Every time Yuvraj Singh smashed the fastest of bowlers for sixes with gay abandon or Harbhajan Singh weaved his wand against clueless batsmen, it was mentioned repeatedly how two of the finest modern day cricketers from Punjab have done us proud time and again. Cricketers from Punjab are always marked with an unmistakable strength of character and resolve.
Besides Yuvraj and Bhajji, Punjab have produced some gutsy cricketers with the likes of Mohinder Amarnath, Lala Amarnath and Navjot Singh Sidhu coming to mind first. Their undying dedication and fighting spirit have done Punjab, as well as India, proud on many occasions.
