Nineteen-year-old Yuvraj Samra created headlines by becoming the youngest player to score a century in T20 World Cup history, achieving this feat against New Zealand. He powered Canada to a formidable score of 173 for 4 during their critical Group D encounter.
Named in honor of India's cricket legend Yuvraj Singh, Samra's rapid 58-ball century included 11 fours and six sixes. His innings was a blend of aggression and precision, contributing significantly to Canada's cause in the tournament.
