Yuvraj Singh, an ICC ambassador for the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 in the USA and West Indies, was a prominent figure present during the IND vs USA match, and he engaged with fans, taking selfies and enjoying the vibrant atmosphere.

As a cricket legend, the former World Cup winner’s presence was a significant attraction in the venue, drawing many fans eager to interact with him and take selfies with him, adding to the mega ICC event's excitement in New York.

Meanwhile, during the Group A match between India and the USA, Yuvraj was seen mingling with the crowd and happily posing for selfies. However, a video that has since gone viral on social media captured a hilarious and embarrassing moment for the former Indian all-rounder on June 12.

In the viral video, Yuvraj approached a family seemingly busy on a video call, mistaking it for a selfie request. He bent down and posed in front of the phone camera, only to realize that the couple was showing their family, seated beside them, the ongoing match rather than requesting a selfie.

Recognizing his mix-up, Yuvraj swiftly moved on, giving the family a "death stare" before turning to another eager fan, who was genuinely waiting for a selfie. This light-hearted incident quickly went viral across social media platforms, prompting a mix of amusing and teasing reactions from fans.

Very well done. Arshdeep Singh, Congratulations on your Man of the Match and for your batting skills last game (scoring 9 against Pakistan).

SKY, well played! Very unlike Suryakumar Yadav, but played according to the situation. Well done, Shuvam Dube. It was very good to see you get runs and finish the match for India. It's important. To get runs in a World Cup match gives you that confidence. It's a big tournament, so well done. All the best, guys. No pressure. Enjoy.”
