The video drew widespread admiration online, with fans and fellow cricketers alike celebrating the impressive tribute.
Yuvraj, known for his powerful and graceful batting technique, especially his historic six sixes in an over against England in the 2007 T20 World Cup, was clearly moved by the fan's dedication.
Sharing the video on X (formerly Twitter), he gave a shoutout to the fan's remarkable effort, playfully captioning it, ¡°Close enough? Or the same?¡±
The post quickly garnered attention, with fans reminiscing about Yuvraj's unforgettable innings and applauding the fan¡¯s accuracy in capturing the spirit of his game.
Yuvraj Singh had recently found himself embroiled in controversy after his non-profit organization, YouWeCan, released a breast cancer awareness ad that used "oranges" as a metaphor for breasts.
The ad, which aimed to spread awareness about breast cancer, faced backlash after a social media user on X criticised it for being insensitive.
How will a country raise Breast Cancer Awareness is we can¡¯t even call breasts what they are. Saw this at Delhi Metro and like what the hell? Check your oranges? Who makes these campaigns, who approves them? Are we governed by such dumb people that they let this poster become¡ pic.twitter.com/YAZ5WYSxXf

This sparked a wider debate, with many joining the conversation to question the appropriateness of the messaging.
Many people voiced their opinion that the ad should address breasts directly, emphasising that there's no need to shy away from using the proper term when raising awareness about a serious health issue like breast cancer.
They argued that normalising the language around breast health is crucial and that euphemisms may inadvertently undermine the importance of the message.
