Yuvraj Singh Exclusive: Playing With Sachin, Beating Cancer & Hitting Six Sixes!

In this Overlap Cricket Exclusive, we sit down with one of India’s greatest ever cricketers, Yuvraj Singh, for a powerful and revealing conversation filmed in India. Yuvraj reflects on his journey, from idolising and playing alongside Sachin Tendulkar to becoming a superstar himself, while also sharing why he believes Jasprit Bumrah “has to be the best” and how the IPL has transformed Indian cricket. He relives one of the most iconic moments in the sport — hitting six sixes in an over — and explains how that moment, and the mindset behind it, changed his career and helped redefine India’s approach to the game. In a deeply personal section, Yuvraj opens up on his cancer diagnosis, revealing how he played through the 2011 World Cup while seriously ill, being told he had 3–6 months to live, and the mental strength it took to fight his way back to international cricket. He also discusses the pressures of playing for India and the work of the YouWeCan Foundation, supporting those battling cancer around the world. A powerful and inspiring conversation with a true cricketing icon. 01:35 - Facing Bumrah as a 16-Year-Old in the Nets 03:43 - Indian Cricket's Depth & IPL's Impact 22:39 - The Six Sixes Off Stuart Broad 29:17 - Gary Kirsten's Impact on Indian Cricket 32:59 - The 2011 World Cup Journey 34:40 - The 2011 Final & Cancer Diagnosis 39:27 - Comeback to Cricket After Cancer 42:21 - Quickfire Questions FOLLOW STICK TO CRICKET ON SOCIAL 👇🏏 Instagram -   / sticktocricket   Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...
