Yuvraj Singh

Style
Yuvraj is primarily a left-handed batsman but can bowl part-time left-arm orthodox spin.
He is regarded as being a better player of fast bowling than spin bowling,
and cites the Indian Oil Cup 2005 as a turning point in his career.
He is one of the better fielders in the Indian team,
fielding primarily at point, with a good aim at the stumps.
A Cricinfo report published in late 2005 showed that since 1999,
he was the fourth most prolific fielder in effecting ODI run outs,
and of those on the list of prolific fielders,
he had the second highest rate of effecting a run out.
He was previously often characterized as having attitude problems,
but later often assumed leadership positions during Rahul Dravid's tenure as captain.
