Yuvraj Singh, the former India World Cup-winning all-rounder, has posted a touching video on his official Twitter handle to commemorate three years of his retirement from international cricket.
Fans and followers can be seen recalling some of Yuvraj's most memorable moments on the field, while his mother and wife also revealed how his life has been post-retirement.
Yuvraj's mother, Shabnam Singh, said that her son got married to golf after taking retirement from cricket. She also stated that she hasn't seen him since a couple of months.
“Yuvraj has gotten married to golf after his retirement. It’s been two months now since I last saw him,” she said in the video.
Yuvraj's wife Hazel Keech said that the former Indian southpaw is busy changing their child's nappies. Earlier this year, Yuvraj and Hazel welcomed a baby boy into their family.
“Among other things, Yuvi is now busy changing lots of nappies, especially poopy ones,” Hazel was heard saying in the video.
Yuvraj made his international debut against Kenya in the year 2000. The star all-rounder did not get to bat in the game but did show off his bowling skills. The Chandigarh-born cricketer conceded only 16 runs in 4 overs, with one maiden over to his name.
Yuvraj made his Test debut against New Zealand at Mohali in 2003.
Yuvraj showcased his outstanding abilities both with the bat and the ball as India won the prestigious World Cup in 2011. With 362 runs and 15 wickets to his name in nine matches, he was declared Man of the Series. He also played a huge role in India winning the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007, famously hitting six sixes in an over of Stuart Broad of England.
Yuvraj played 304 One-Day Internationals and amassed 8701 runs, including 14 centuries and 52 half-centuries. He has played 40 Tests for the national team, scoring 1900 runs, 3 centuries, and 11 half-centuries.
“It’s been 3 years today to the day I hung up my boots but your love for me has only grown by leaps and bounds! Thank you, my friends, family and fans for always supporting me in every way possible and for putting together this heartfelt video. Your affection is priceless,” Yuvraj had written in the caption for his post.
