3 actors who can play Yuvraj Singh in his biopic
#3 Herry Tangri
Herry Tangri, who previously impressed audiences with his role in M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story, could also be an excellent choice for playing Yuvraj Singh. Tangri's dedication to accurately representing cricketing figures, including undergoing specific training to mimic Yuvraj’s batting style, shows his commitment to authenticity.
Although Tangri is a right-handed batter, unlike Yuvraj, his efforts to adapt his playing style displayed his determination to accurately portray his character.
His previous work in sports biopics, such as Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, has shown his capability to embody real-life sports icons. With his connection to Punjabi roots and his familiarity with cricket, Tangri could bring a genuine and relatable portrayal of Yuvraj Singh to the screen.

Dulquer Salmaan offers a fresh perspective as a potential Yuvraj Singh, bringing a blend of charm and emotional depth to the character. Salmaan, a celebrated actor in Malayalam cinema who has also made notable contributions to Hindi films, has shown his versatility in roles across different genres.
His performance in The Zoya Factor, which incorporated cricket as a significant element, also showcases his ability to connect with the sport and its nuances. Dulquer's natural charisma and his talent for emotionally engaging performances would be pivotal in illustrating both Yuvraj’s cricketing achievements and his personal struggle with cancer.
His ability to resonate with audiences and his proven skill in portraying complex characters make him a strong candidate for the biopic.
#1 Vicky Kaushal
Vicky Kaushal emerges as a strong contender for the role of Yuvraj Singh, thanks to his proven track record in biopics along with his ability to deliver powerful performances.
