Yuvraj Singh and Sania Mirza are two great friends and if you are active on social media and follow their accounts, you will know that they share a special bond with each other.
On Monday, Yuvraj brought the curtains down on his remarkable cricketing career which had spanned for nearly two decades. Ending a “rollercoaster” career with 40 Test matches, 304 One Day Internationals and 58 T20Is, the all-rounder accompanied by wife Hazel Keech and mother Shabnam Singh announced his retirement from international cricket in Mumbai.
Following the same, several celebrities across domains came forward to bid adieu to the 2011 World Cup hero. Joining the bandwagon, Sania extended a heartwarming message for her friend post his retirement.
She shared an interesting photograph on Twitter, where she can be seen holding a cricket bat while Yuvraj can be seen posing with a Tennis racquet.
Addressing Yuvraj as ‘motuuu’, the Indian Tennis star wrote, “You are a hero and a legend which the world knows bout – but the remarkable human that you are,and luckily we get to knw u in this next phase too..its an end of an era, but the beginning of so much more with the next chapter in ur life motuuu.. BEST always. @YUVSTRONG12”
