While Hazel is known for her performance in Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan starrer ‘Bodyguard’, Yuvraj is hailed as one of the best Southpaw cricketers in the history of Indian cricket. The swashbuckling cricketer announced his retirement from all formats of the game in 2019 after representing India in 40 Tests, 304 ODIs and 58 T20 games. Plus, Yuvraj was also a part of the 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup-winning Indian teams.
