Yuvraj Singh, the iconic Indian cricketer, turned heads at the Miami Grand Prix. His presence at the event was not a mere coincidence. Yuvraj was recently appointed as an ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 Ambassador. In this role, he will be involved in a series of promotional events leading up to the tournament.
The Miami Grand Prix wasn’t just about the high-octane racing action on the track. The event organizers pulled out all the stops, creating a “celebrity runway” in the paddock area. This A-list gathering featured personalities from sports, music, fashion, and more.
Yuvraj Singh poses with three prestigious trophies
Yuvraj Singh, the cricket legend himself, was among the sporting stars to grace the event. He wasn’t there empty-handed though! Singh brought along three prestigious trophies:
- The coveted T20 World Cup trophy, a constant reminder of India’s triumph in the inaugural edition of the tournament (2007), a tournament in which Yuvraj himself played a stellar role.
- The Formula 1 World Driver’s Championship trophy.
- The NBA championship trophy.
Yuvraj Singh even shared photos of himself posing with these trophies on his Instagram account, much to the delight of his fans.
