We first conducted a keyword search with the phrase “Yuvraj Singh donates 600 tractors” to learn about this news. No credible media outlet has reported such a big donation but such claims are spread by vague accounts.
Upon checking his foundation, ‘YouWeCan’ website, we did not find any information regarding this. As seen in their values and mission, they are mainly focused on cancer awareness, screening, treatments and the empowerment of cancer survivors. View a section from their website:
We then checked Yuvraj Singh’s social media accounts for any information on this transaction. On 7th September, 2025, he praised IAS Sakshi Sawhney on both his Instagram and X account for helping the people of Punjab during the floods. However, there was no reference or any mention about tractors or ₹42 crore worth donations.

There has been no such donation made by Yuvraj Singh worth Rs 42 Crore for the people affected by the Punjab floods. While he has expressed his support and praise, the images and claims shared online are fake and AI generated.
