Yuvraj Singh first retirement commemoration, Sachin Tendulkar paid a tribute to his previous colleague, and reviewed the first occasion when he saw the previous left-gave batsman.
It was on June 10 a year ago that Yuvraj Singh, India’s 2011 World Cup saint, called time on an incredible 19-year-long vocation, while the Indian cricket crew was in England playing the World Cup. One of the firsts to compliment Yuvraj for a heavenly profession a year ago on Twitter, Tendulkar didn’t pass up a great opportunity recalling his first retirement commemoration either.
My first memory of you was during the Chennai camp and I really wanted to see that you were exceptionally athletic and misleadingly speedy at Point. I needn’t talk about your 6 hitting capacity, it was apparent you could clear any ground on the planet.
“It’s been a year since You(Vi) resigned,” Tendulkar tweeted with an image of the two previous cricketers. “My first memory of you was during the Chennai camp and I really wanted to see that you were athletic and misleadingly snappy at Point. I needn’t talk about your 6 hitting capacity, it was obvious you could clear any ground on the planet.”
During his close to two-decade long profession in universal cricket, Yuvraj Singh won two World Cups – the debut ICC World T20 in 2007 and afterward ODI World Cup in 2011. The 37-year-old Yuvraj was named Man of the Tournament as India lifted the 50-over World Cup at home.
In 40 Tests, in the wake of appearing in October 2003, he scored 1900 runs at 33.92 with three centuries and 11 fifties. In 58 T20Is, he hit 1177 runs with eight half-hundreds of years, including his renowned six sixes in an over against England pacer Stuart Broad during the debut World T20.
On Wednesday, which checked one year since the day Yuvraj reported his retirement, MissYouYuvi started slanting on Twitter with a few clients tweeting around one of Indian cricket’s greatest match-victors. Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh have been taking part in specific exercises during the lockdown, for example, the ‘Keepy-Uppy’, ‘ blindfold’ and ‘kitchen’ challenges.
MissYouYuvi trends on Twitter
Yuvraj Singh may never wear the Indian blue jersey and pull off match-winning performances or tonk the bowlers to every parts of the ground in IPL again but that has had zero effect in his popularity in the country. Exactly a year after – Yuvraj had called it quits on June 10, 2019 – Yuvraj Singh announced his retirement from all forms of cricket, #MissYouYuvi started trending on Twitter on Wednesday.
The Player of the Tournament in India’s World Cup winning-campaign in 2011, Yuvraj hung his boots last year, bringing an end to an illustrious career lasting more than two decades.
A career that spanned over 304 ODIs, 58 T20Is, and 40 Tests, Yuvraj imprinted his place as a player who could pretty much win matches for his side either through his electric fielding, deceiving bowling or fierce batting. Yuvraj Singh called time on his career after registering 11,778 runs across all three formats of the game and he also managed to scalp 148 wickets.
More than 30,000 tweets had already come up with the #MissYouYuvi at the time of writing this copy.
