Irfan Pathan also came up with a reply praising Yuvraj Singh.
Yuvraj Singh retired from all forms of cricket in 2019 and has been watching live cricket action since then. He has been pretty active on social media during Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 which has made him miss his playing days.
Recently, he posted a picture on Instagram holding a unique bat which is as tall as him. He posted a caption with the picture, "#throwbackthursday ! Miss my playing and travelling days, one of the biggest bats I’ve held ! And who’s this person hiding behind me? Can’t remember #memories #worldcupsquad 2011"
Yuvraj Singh says Sachin Tendulkar is Michael Jordan of Indian cricket
Here is the post:
Sachin Tendulkar, who has an elephant memory, recalled who the person behind Yuvraj in the picture was and quickly revealed his identity.
He said, "Ha ha ha… Yuvi I can tell the person who is hiding behind you. It is Aslam bhai who repaired our bats and this photo was taken in Mumbai. Am I right? I can also see some autographs on the bat, can anyone tell me who has signed at No. 2 spot??"
Yuvraj then remembered who the man was and also quickly added that Aslam had come to him after taking Tendulkar's signature.
"hahaha yes paji I remember now!! It is Aslam bhai. He had come after taking your signature," Yuvraj replied.
His fellow teammate Irfan Pathan also came up with a witty comment to praise the former all-rounder. He mentioned that Yuvraj's bat in his playing days always seemed that big to the bowlers.
"Bhai bowlers ko bat itna hi bada lagta that jab aap batting karte the (Brother, the bowlers felt you had a bat this big when you were at the crease)," he wrote.
