Yuvraj Singh, former Indian swashbuckling batsman, and the two-time World Cup-winner, shared a heartfelt video as a tribute to his former ‘partner in crime’ MS Dhoni on the latters retirement.
Yuvraj, who announced his retirement last year, took to Twitter to congratulate MS Dhoni on a stellar 16-year-old career, adding that enjoyed lifting the 2007 and 2011 World Cup Trophies besides stitching the numerous match-winning partnerships during their respective careers.
”Congratulations @msdhoni on a great career! Enjoyed lifting the 2007 and 2011 WC trophies together for our country and our many partnerships on the field. My best wishes to you for the future ?” tweeted Yuvraj Singh.
Yuvraj Singh and MS Dhoni- The Torchbearers of Indian middle-order in the 2000s
MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh will go down as possibly the two greatest middle-order batsman that India has ever produced in white-ball cricket. The duo was the heartbeat of the Indian white-ball teams throughout the 2000s and early 2010s. Who can forget their epic annihilation of Pakistan that helped India beat the arch-rivals in the 2006 ODI series? Or their partnership in the 2011 World Cup final or their 256 run-stand against England back in 2017? I have listed just three of the match-winning partnerships Mahi and Yuvi stiched during their career or the number of run-chases they masterminded.
Overall, MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh batted together in 67 ODI innings, in which they accumulated 3105 runs at an average of 51.75, including 13 half-century and 10 100+ stands. And, it’s kind of fitting that both stalwarts scored their last One-day International hundred in the same game- vs England in 2017.
