He played three world cups and all three on spinner friendly wickets. His bowling stats would have been different if he had played 99,15 or 19 world cup.

There is a limit to nitpicking! How could he've played those WCs when he wasn't ready for '99 WC and was past it for '15 & '19 WCs?He played three world cups and all three on spinner friendly wickets. His bowling stats would have been different if he had played 99,15 or 19 world cup.
Tendulkar and Dhoni are my two most favourite cricketers from India, and two of my three cricketing heroes overall, but I think even they wouldn´t mind it if I were to put Yuvraj above them in Limited-Overs cricket as a whole package, and also purely based on the quality and the value of runs that he made for India. I´ve no idea how, but he always chose the most crunch situation of the most crunch match of the most crunch tournament to get his runs.
To put things into perspective, after the World Cup 1999 victory by them and to the World Cup 2011, the mighty Australians were hindered from entering the final of an ICC tournament on seven occasions, and on three of those times it was done by a man called Yuvraj - he literally stood as a wall between Australia and their win.
If anyone out there wants to know what a determined and angry Punjabi can do on his day, just watch the highlights of some or the other innings of his from one or the other multi-national tournaments that he played in. A day before his retirement I think it was, they were showing the glimpses of his innings against Australia in World Cup Quarter-final 2011 (in the 'Magic Moments' segment of the ongoing World Cup), and it gave me goosebumps. The way he sat down after the winning run was hit, the way he roared like a lion, it gave the feeling as if he had just conquered Australia as a country as opposed to just beating their cricket team.
He was easily India´s greatest hitter ever. Hitting six sixes in an over off a quality bowler like Stuart Broad is no joke. I don´t doubt many repeating the feat, but I don´t think it´ll ever be done against a quality bowler like Broad - never. I say it with an apology to both Tendulkar and Dhoni, but on his day, Yuvraj caused me feelings and emotions that even they both never could. I wish him all the best to him for his life ahead. Oh´ and, did I even mention that this guy battled cancer and was playing with a lot of cough and general discomfort during the whole World Cup 2011- the tournament in which he was declared as the best player of the edition?
Yuvraj Singh will be playing in the 2019 Canadian T20 league for Toronto which means he has not retired from international cricket.
What had KP done in ODI cricket? Yuvi is miles above him in LOIs.Yuvraj singh surely underachieved, he had ability to become a KP level cricketer but indiscipline was his biggest issue.
He is as talented as anyone i have ever seen, his shots had class mixed with strength which is very rare.
he was a good player, but when we talk about Yuvraj, we do remember his 6 6s, but thats about .
For me, he's equivalent of Shoaib Malik, only difference isYuvraj was able to hit.
Legend? surely not
Not just loi but overall.What had KP done in ODI cricket? Yuvi is miles above him in LOIs.
I'm struggling to recall the time when he was a dangerous batsman because it was so long ago. He has been mediocre for so long. He should have retired a few years ago instead of becoming a laughing stock at the end of his career.
KP was great in tests but poor in ODI and T20. Yuvi has one WC in both ODI and T20s and has played many match-winning knocks. And then his bowling was even better than KP’s and was a brilliant fielder. So I dont get how KP becomes a better overall cricketer.Not just loi but overall.
Obviously yuvi is miles ahead in odis.
Test cricketers will always be rated higher than loi cricketers. This is the norm.KP was great in tests but poor in ODI and T20.

In what world? So is Pujara also a better overall cricketer than Yuvi?. Tell me one ICC tournament KP has won in ODI?Test cricketers will always be rated higher than loi cricketers. This is the norm.
The cricketing world will always rate a player like vvs over someone like yuvraj.
Secondly, Kp wasn't poor in odis.

I remember in 1997 when I joined college, there used to be this friend of mine from Chandigarh who used to play club cricket there. He would tell us stories about practising with this guy Yuvi, who my friend thought was very arrogant but would play for India one day. Just like SRT and Dhoni, Yuvi was famous amongst cricket fans even before he played for India.

never lived upto his potential
At its peak, what a great match winner he was.
WT20 and WC'11 win won't have been possible without Yuvi.
Oh Boy, Those sixes were fab. Those sixes just changed the whole career of Broad. He became an absolute beast of a test match bowler rather than a white bowl bowler.The Six Sixes anniversary today
