Controversies• On 10 June 2019, while announcing his retirement from international cricket, he attracted controversy by making a comment on BCCI's Yo-Yo Test. He said- "I’ve a lot to tell about Yo-Yo Test but I’ll not say anything now to create any controversy as Team India in the World Cup."

• On 18 October 2021, the cricketer was briefly arrested in Haryana after a complaint was filed against him, accusing him of using a casteist slur in an Instagram live video against cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. Later, he was released on bail. Reportedly, his Instagram live video with ex-teammate Rohit Sharma was widely shared on social media in June 2020 in which Yuvraj Singh made the alleged remarks.

• In July 2024, after India Champions beat Pakistan Champions by five wickets in the World Championship of Legends final, he shared a video on Instagram along with other former cricketers including Harbhajan Singh, Suresh Raina, and Gurkeerat Singh Mann. Disability rights groups criticised them for "mocking" people with disabilities in the video in which they are seen trying to recreate actor Vicky Kaushal's viral dance step from the song Tauba Tauba. A police complaint was later filed against them. [2]The Hindu
