Yuvraj Singh, the former India all-rounder, turns 42 on Tuesday, December 12. On his special day, Hazel Keech, the great cricketer’s wife, sent him a wonderful, love-filled wish.
Hazel posted a lovely video on social media including some of Yuvraj Singh’s adorable moments with her and their children. She also sent a cute caption to her hubby.
She wrote in the caption:
“Gosh. I love you. Our kids love you. God bless this day, the day you were born. What a blessing it is to know you, to call you daddy/husband/friend/partner. You give so much to everyone, and I hope you feel all the love in the world that’s out there for you, cos there’s so much of it. I celebrate you today, and everyday. Happy Birthday You ❤️ you carry our hearts with you ❤️
“Ps and as the song goes “we were just two young kids…. and to think, that all it took was just a feeling and a look” Pps the look on Auras face when you were burping her in the second from last picture is MINI YOU! ❤️.”

In 2011, Yuvraj Singh and Hazel Keech got together at a friend’s party. The couple was married on November 30, 2016. After their son Orion Keech Singh was born in January 2022, they became parents for the first time. The couple was blessed with a baby girl earlier this year in August, and they called her Aura.
“How many people talk about him?” – Gautam Gambhir feels Yuvraj Singh didn’t get enough recognition for his role in India’s 2011 World Cup win
Yuvraj Singh helped India win the 2011 cricket World Cup at home. He played a big part with both batting and bowling, being named the best player of the tournament. Some innings had long scores while others were short. His bowling ranged from many runs to just a few.
Yuvraj Singh took 15 wickets in nine matches and amassed 362 runs. Despite Yuvraj’s outstanding achievements at the main event, teammate Gautam Gambhir feels that he wasn’t given enough credit.
Gambhir stated on the ANI podcast:
“You know it. You please tell me that one player Yuvraj Singh who was Man of the Tournament in 2011, how many people talk about him. Why? Probably he does not have a good PR agency. Probably this word ‘underrated’ is a very unfair word. It is actually under-shown, if you won’t show the people, then they won’t know and you keep showing one person, then he will become a brand.”

Yuvraj participated in the 2011 World Cup despite being diagnosed with cancer. He announced his retirement from all forms of international cricket in June 2019 after a distinguished career.
