Faces of India – 279 Yuvraj Singh Indian International Cricketer
This week I have a famous sports personality for my faces of India series. He is Yuvraj Singh an Indian international cricketer. Add to that he is heart throb of many young girls, idol of many cricket fans and most important a cancer survivor! He has formed a charity foundation YOUWECAN, through which he works with underprivileged children who are fighting cancer. Yuvraj Singh offers them financial assistance through this foundation.
During the launch of OPPO F1s Selfie Expert, Yuvraj Singh had graced the occasion. OPPO had gifted the foundation Rs40lakhs (4 million INR) during the launch event. In the pic you see him receiving the check. I was way behind in the audience. Thanks to my zoom lens I could capture a decent shot. This picture is totally unedited. I could not meet him face to face, may be some day I will be able to meet and take a good portrait shot of him.
Faces of India,
Faces of India is a series through which I intend to portray the various characters of my country whom I met during my travels. I bring back souvenirs, frozen moments from my travels, why not some memories of people I have met and interacted during the travels. Faces of India is a weekly series in my blog since MARCH 2011.
