New Delhi: Global sports brand PUMA has extended its partnership with former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh, making him the face of PUMA Motorsport in India to showcase his passion for fast cars and sports-inspired fashion.
With this, Yuvraj also joins the brand's global league of legends like Thierry Henry, Boris Becker and Usain Bolt.

An ardent fan of Formula 1 driver, Max Verstappen, the former all-rounder keenly follows Scuderia Ferrari Formula1 team.
''I share a long and fruitful relationship with PUMA, it's like family. They have supported me through every point of my career - highs as well as lows. I am excited to continue working with the brand, blending my love for fast cars and style through PUMA's motorsport inspired collection,'' said Yuvraj Singh,
Globally, PUMA is associated with Scuderia Ferrari, Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team, Aston Martin Red Bull Racing, BMW M Motorsport and Porche Motorsport.
