Indian veteran cricketer Yuvraj Singh turned 36 today. The left-arm swashbuckling batsman is indeed one of the most loved cricketers in the country. He has been receiving loads of birthday wishes on social media since midnight. However, hours before turning 36, one of his posts created quite a stir on social media.
Here’s what happened:
A day prior to his birthday, Yuvraj took to his social media account and posted a bare-body picture and wrote:”Trying to get a six pack for my birthday I think it should come by tomorrow what say?”. He went on to tag his mates from the Indian cricket team including Zaheer Khan, Harbhajan Singh and Rohit Sharma.
Here’s the post:
As soon as he uploaded the picture on social media, his fans started reacting on the post. Meanwhile, Zaheer Khan’s wife Sagarika Ghatge took a funny dig at Yuvraj and Zaheer, saying, “Zak has only one pack ready. Sure you can borrow that.”
Well, only Yuvraj can tell when he’ll get those 6 packs on his birthday but his followers on social media didn’t hold back and poured their hearts out on his birthday.
Though Yuvraj has been out of the national team since India’s tour of West Indies, his contribution can never be forgotten. He is one of those players who displayed his talent right in his debut game. He went on to become one of the few prominent Indian cricketers who can be called ‘legendary’. His fielding skills are still unmatched and his batting performance on several occasions was historic. Especially, the 2002 Natwest final against England, his six sixes to Stuart Broad in 2007 T20I World Cup and his stint in 2011 World Cup which India won.
