According to his reply, it seems that Yuvi could be frustrated at the Team India management for ignoring him too long, despite being in the squad during India's Test commitments. In his illustrious 19-year career, Yuvi could only manage to play 40 Tests, scoring 1,900 runs at an average of 33.92, including three tons and 11 half-centuries, along with a top score of 169. He made his debut in the format in 2003, three years after his international debut, he played his last Test in 2012.

Earlier, Yuvi's father, Yograj Singh, had stated to NewsBytes that playing alongside other Indian greats like Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly somewhat made it difficult for Yuvraj to have a decent Test career. He also stated that had Yuvraj not been playing Tests in the wrong era, he would have played 200 Tests.

Nevertheless, Yuvi went on to have a blazing career in the limited-overs circuit, scoring 8,701 runs in 304 One-Day Internationals and 1,177 in 58 Twenty20 Internationals. He played a focal role in India success during the ICC World T20 2007 and ICC World Cup 2011.

Despite having retired in 2019, Yuvi was eager to make a comeback in the domestic circuit last year. However, his request to come out of retirement was reportedly turned down by the BCCI.
