Yuvraj Singh announced his retirement from International Cricket on Monday. He represented India in 40 Tests, 304 ODIs and 58 T20s. 'After 25 years, in and around 22 yards, and after almost 17 years of International Cricket on and off, I have decided moved on. Lucky to have played 400-plus games for India. When I begun my career as a cricketer, I hadn't even imagined it. My love for cricket will remain till the end of my life. Can't express my feelings in words. This sport taught Me everything...how to fight, how to fall, how to get up again and move forward. Never gave up though I failed more times than I have succeeded,' he said.

On the 2011 World Cup Victory, Yuvraj Singh said: 'To be part of history created after 28 years, What more could I ask for?'.

The All-Rounder revealed he thought of announcing retirement on IPL 12 Final but didn't go ahead as he wasn't part of Mumbai Indians Playing XI. He says, 'Life doesn't give you everything'.

Worst Day In Yuvraj Singh's Life: 'Scoring just 11 runs of 21 balls in 2014 T20 World Cup Final against Sri Lanka'.

Yo-Yo Test: 'I was told that arrangements will be made for my farewell if I don't clear the Yo-Yo Test but I turned down the proposal. I just told them that I would go back to home if I don't qualify. Don't want to create controversies as Team India is playing World Cup right now'.

What next for Yuvraj Singh? He doesn't rule out playing T20 and T10 Tourneys across the World.

2011 World Cup was the best phase in Yuvraj Singh's career. He scored a century and four half centuries apart from picking up 15 wickets to bag the Man Of The Tournament award. He was diagnosed with a germ-cell cancer even before the World Cup but showed his commitment for the country.
