In an exciting development, the T-Series production house announced the theatrical release of the biopic of Indian legendary all-rounder Yuvraj Singh.

Yuvraj Singh, who won two ICC tournaments for India, battled with cancer at the peak of his career. However, the life-threatening disease couldn't tame Yuvraj's resilience and courage as he made a splashing return to the field before eventually retiring from all forms of cricket in 2019.

Having said that, while the cast of the upcoming sports biopic is yet to be finalised, here are five actors who could be a perfect fit to play the role of Yuvraj Singh.

1. Ranbir Kapoor
