Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh was in attendance as Mullanpur hosted its first ever men's international game. Singh had a stand name in his honour at the stadium and joined the Indian team for a pep talk ahead of the IND vs SA 2nd T20I on Thursday. Yuvraj enjoyed a few candid moments with the likes of Kuldeep Yadav, Hardik Pandya and even coach Gautam Gambhir before play.

Yuvraj was honoured earlier in the day, with the Punjab Cricket Association naming a stand in his honour. In his 17-year career, Yuvraj Singh won two World Cups. He was the player of the tournament when India won the 50-over World Cup in 2011
