After a disappointing start in the Global T20 Canada 2019, Yuvraj Singh showed glimpses of his usual best during the Toronto Nationals vs Edmonton Royals match at the CAA Centre in Brampton, Ontario. Yuvraj came into bat at number four and scored 35 runs off just 21 balls. The left-hander smashed three sixes and as many fours during his knock. Out of the three sixes, one came against the bowling of Pakistan spinner Shadab Khan. Global T20 Canada 2019 Schedule: Full Time Table With Fixtures, Dates, Match Timings in IST and Venue Details of GT20 League.

Yuvraj dispatched a low full-toss from Shadab over the mid-wicket region.
