Yuvraj Singh was seen encouraging the Skky Strikers players during the T20 tournament.
Skky Strikers had one of the best sides in the tournament, helping them reach the knockout stage.
The highlight of their campaign was that the King of Sixes and international cricketing hero Yuvraj Singh personally flew to the US and came down to the ground in DC where the tournament was held, to support and encourage the team. He cheered the team on from the dugout and motivated the players.
