This Is Why Yuvraj Singh Thanked Sachin Tendulkar

The cricketers are making the most of the festive period. Yuvraj Singh is the latest one to join. Some of the biggest names from the game recently attended Virat Kohli’s wedding reception in Mumbai and after that few made it to the birthday party hosted by Bollywood actor Salman Khan.

Following that, the Indian team departed for South Africa for the upcoming series while Yuvraj Singh, currently out of the Indian team, made the most of his time away from the game. The veteran batsman attended a party hosted by none other than batting legend Sachin Tendulkar and took to Instagram to thank the former India star for the same.

Posting a picture  of himself alongside Tendulkar and former pacer Ajit Agarkar, all three dressed in funky outfits, Yuvraj wrote:

“Thanks @sachintendulkar for the lovely night was great fun ‘ ☝?#monster Agarkar ?”

Meanwhile, Yuvraj is currently out of the Indian team. Speculations were rife that the southpaw would be recalled for the upcoming tour of South Africa after clearing the mandatory Yo-Yo test, but lack of match practice saw him being ignored again. He last played for India during the tour of West Indies earlier this year.

The two-times World Cup champions made a fairy-tale return to the Indian side when he played his career-best knock of 150 against England earlier this year in only the second game after he was recalled to the ODI following a four-year hiatus.

However, things did not turn out as expected after that as he had a poor Champions Trophy where he aggregated 105 runs in four innings. It was followed by yet another dismal outing against West Indies before he was dropped. He also failed the mandatory Yo-Yo test thrice which reportedly made the selectors to ignore him. Things also went haywire in domestic cricket as he was not included in any of the three squads for the Duleep Trophy.
