The Yuvraj Singh NFT collection will be officially launched on December 25. In a promotional video, Yuvraj can be seen saying NFT “is the present”. “So, I have decided to give my fans a big present. I am gonna make a big NFT collection for them,” he said.

In October, former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar had joined the non-fungible token (NFT) bandwagon, with a collection of his landmark moments as a cricket player.

Some of these included Gavaskar becoming the first player to score 10,000 runs, when he scored 774 runs in a single tests series and held the record of highest number (34) test centuries for many years. The collection was designed and curated by London-based NFT specialist nftie.

Many cricket players have come up with their NFT collections in the recent past.

What are NFTs?

A non-fungible token (NFT) is a cryptographic token, which has a unique value and characteristic. These properties set the NFT apart from other collections. It’s similar to buying a one-of-a-kind work of art, or a collectable antique. Due to their unique properties, NFTs generate value as tokens or digital assets.
