Yuvraj Singh played the world cup with cancer and won it for India.
He was the player of the tournament for T20 WC 07 and ODI WC 11 both.

Yuvraj Singh ....one of the greatest all rounder in cricket history

[Nipuncdg]

This man won the World Cup for India while suffering from Cancer ...GOAT of world cricket.

[barcelonachair]

I can't believe cricket is on American Television. I never thought I would see it in my life.
Being from the Caribbean, this is wild!
The GOAT is Brian Lara.

I’m going to the South Africa v Netherlands game. Wish I could go to an India game. I’d love to see Virat Kohli bat live.

1. Cricket is more international than baseball
2. Cricket batters can play more strokes all around the ground
3. Cricket batters don't have to be big powerful behemoths
4. Cricket batters can put on a batting performance where they continue to hit ' homers ' until they get out
5. Cricket bowlers can be fast, medium, slow
6. Cricket bowlers can send the stumps flying
7. Cricket bowlers rotate so that you can see more in action
8. Cricket fielders have to hit the stumps to effect a run-out (smaller target than throwing to fielder)
9. Cricket fielders have to catch with their bare hands
10. Cricket players have to be better behaved. No arguing with umpire, fighting, kicking dust etc

There is nothing more powerful than Yuvraj's story. Man is a true legend.

[shahzadirani]

One of the biggest differences between baseball and cricket is that the soil used to make the pitches plays a pivotal role in cricket. Also the weather conditions.

[jetpark]

I'm Australian, we are world champs❤❤

[WHATEVER_]

YUVRAJ SINGH🔥🔥 One of Greatest player of Cricket🏏

[lonewolfe]

Cricket is not just about hitting the ball out of park. It's more about adapting to different situations. It's also not about just rotating your hips, waist and shoulder to generate power. It's about using your wrists, getting into different positions as per the particular delivery thrown at you, agility, patience, presence of mind, reading the field, reading the situation etc.

[vivekraobhupathi]

Yuvraj Singh- the all time GOAT of cricketing world.

Cricket vs baseball
1. Play ground
Cricket- whole size 🍕
Baseball- is slice 🍕
2. Equipment

Bat
Cricket - flat long wooden paddle
Baseball- narrow elongated

3. players 11 each
4 one innings per team and all 11 players get to bat or until the limited pitches are completed
5. This format is limited to 120 pitches per inning for each team
6. Pitcher(bowler is the right terminology) can only pitch 6 pitches at a time and need to switch to other pitcher.

It's not complicated it take few games to understand.
Enjoy the world cup.
Go USA

American fans, u will love cricket. I love they explained the rules to the new fans around the world but there is actually more rules than the basics. There are 10 ways to get out. Also yuraj Singh is one of the best batsman in India for years and I recommend u should watch his 6 sixes in a row is 36 runs of an over

[lukose]

Cricket shots have more finesse; and it requires proper way of head position, handling of bat, movement of bat, positioning of feet, timing, power and concentration . Sometimes, shots require more wrist work . Sometimes you get down on one knee and hit . Sometimes you must pull it to the Leg Side with power . Thus, there is more variety and subtle beauty of shots in Cricket when in comparison to Baseball .

The upcoming World Cup contains 20 Overs per Innings, and each team shall play one Innings . So each game is three hours . However, if you want to see a game of cricket in which qualities like Patience and Perseverance gets higlighted, then you must watch the 5-Day Cricket match, known as a Test Match .

[TheTechInsiderBySaurabh]

To anyone who is watching this from USA and thinking that who is this Guy in while coat .. let me tell you he has hit 6 sixes in an over just like hitting 6 home runs continuously.
And he had cancer in 2011 when he participated in Cricket World Cup. He knows that he has this illness but still risks his life and gone for the World Cup and delayed his treatment.
He was man of the. Series for 2011 World Cup.

He is absolutely a legend
