"We won this IPL but had I got a chance to be part of the XI, I would have left with satisfaction but one doesn't get everything in life. I started my career in 2000 and it had been 19 years. Last year, I had decided that this year's IPL would be my last outing and I'll give it my best shot," said Yuvraj in his retirement speech.

The 2011 World Cup hero, when asked if he sees his reflection in anyone, was quick to say there was no such player. He, however, acknowledged that Rishabh Pant has the potential to become better than him as he has proved himself at a very early stage. "He (Pant) can become attacking and match winning left-hander," the retired cricketer said. Yuvraj has 8701 runs in 304 One-Day International matches. Yuvraj played 40 Tests and amassed a total of 1900 runs, with the highest score of 169, registered three centuries and 11 fifties.
