Dear Yuvraj,

Your name carries a story.

When I was growing up I was never very interested in cricket. The game always felt too slow for me. But your grandfather loved it and watched it often. Sometimes he would ask me to sit with him and watch a match. Most of the time I did it just to spend time with him.

One day we were watching a match between India and England. During the game there was an argument on the field between Yuvraj Singh and Andrew Flintoff. Flintoff had been sledging him and trying to provoke him.

What happened next stayed with me.

In the very next over Yuvraj hit six sixes in six balls. But what impressed me was not just the power. Every six was hit with precision. Watching it live, it felt like someone who had complete clarity in that moment. Instead of reacting with anger, he responded with his game.

That moment stayed with me for years.

Later I learned about something even bigger in his life. Yuvraj Singh was diagnosed with cancer at the peak of his career. He stepped away from the game, went through treatment, and fought his way back to international cricket again. That kind of resilience meant even more to me than the six sixes.

When it came time to choose your name, your mum and I talked about it a lot. I told her this story and why it had stayed with me for so long. Together we felt that the name Yuvraj carried the kind of strength we hoped for you.

Life will throw its own kind of sledging at all of us. There will be moments when people doubt you, moments when things feel unfair, and moments when you feel tested. When those moments come, I hope you respond the same way. With calm, with courage, and with belief in yourself.

Your name, Yuvraj, means a young prince. But to us it represents something deeper. It represents strength, composure under pressure, and the ability to rise when life challenges you.

Your name comes from a memory I shared with your grandfather. One day I hope it reminds you of the strength that already lives inside you.

And long before you were born, you were already deeply loved.

With all our love,

Mum and Dad
