Former India cricketer Yuvraj Singh made a massive revelation about himself from the team's tour to Australia in 2007/08. He opened up about how dating an actress during the tour made him wear pink slippers on his way to the airport.

Yuvraj Singh arguably was one of the finest players to have played for the India National Cricket Team. The all-rounder played many match-winning knocks for the team and was equally vital for the team in white-ball cricket with both bat as well as the ball.

On the Australia tour in 2007/08, Yuvraj Singh was part of the Indian Team, which played a four-match Test series followed by a single T20I and a tri-series in the ODI format featuring Sri Lanka. However, he didn't have a great outing as he failed with the bat.

Yuvraj Singh had a terrible outing with the bat in the Tests. He scored just 17 runs in two matches at an average of 4.25. And after that, he was dropped from the team for his poor outings. He also was criticized a lot for his batting effort during that tour.

Yuvraj Singh, however, has now revealed an anecdote from that tour and confirmed his relationship with an actress, which was rumored a lot at that time. He mentioned how he told her that he needed to focus on the tour, but the actress followed her and how they traveled in a team bus. Speaking on the Club Prairie Fire YouTube Podcast, he explained:

“I was dating an actress, I won’t name her; (She is) very good at the moment and very experienced. She was shooting in Adelaide. I told her, listen, let’s not meet for a bit because I’m on an Australia tour and need to focus. She followed me to Canberra on the bus. In two Tests, I didn’t get many runs. And I was like, ‘What are you doing here?’ And she was like, ‘I want to spend time with you’,”

"So, I met her in the night and we began chatting. I told her you need to focus on your career, and I need to focus on mine because I’m on an Australia tour, and you know what that means. Anyway, we were leaving for Adelaide from Canberra and she packed my suitcase,”

I had to wear pink slip-ons to the airport - Yuvraj Singh

Yuvraj Singh further revealed how he was made to wear pink slip-on to the airport. He mentioned how the actress packed her shoes, and he had to wear pink slippers, which he hid with his bag before he got a new one at the airport. He elaborated:

“In the morning, I was like ‘where are my shoes’? She said, ‘I packed them’. I asked, ‘How would I go on the bus’? And she said, ‘Wear mine’. She had these pink slip-ons. And I was like, ‘Oh my god’. I had to wear those pink slip-ons, and I was carrying my bag in front of my shoes to hide them. The guys saw it, and they clapped for me. I had to wear pink slip-ons to the airport until I bought flip-flops there," he concluded.
