Yuvraj Singh Wishes His 'Chaddi Buddy' Harbhajan Singh On His 38th Birthday

Messages poured in from all  quarters as veteran India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh turned 38 on Tuesday.   Starting from the legendary Sachin Tendulkar to Virender Sehwag, several cricketers wished the Turbanator on the special day. But it is safe to say that Yuvraj Singh’s birthday message stole the show.

Both Yuvraj and Harbhajan started their career together for Punjab before making it big in international cricket. During their illustrious careers, they together helped India register some of its greatest-ever wins. Both the players were part of the team that won the inaugural World T20 in 2007 and the 2011 World Cup. They were also a part of the side that lost the final of the 2003 World Cup.

That they share a very close friendship is very well known and Yuvraj’s message has once again made it clear. The southpaw took to Twitter to wish Harbhajan, writing:

“Wishing my chaddi buddy @harbhajan_singh many more happy returns of the day. Tum jiyo hazaaron saal, saal ke din ho pachaas hazaar ?#happybirthday #tomanymoreyears”

Talking about Harbhajan’s career, he is one of the finest spinners to have played for India. He marked his arrival at the highest stage by blowing away the all-conquering Australia in the 2001 Test series. In just three games, he picked up 32 wickets, including the first Test hat-trick by an Indian.

So far, the off-spinner has represented India in 103 Tests, 236 ODIs and 28 T20Is. In Tests, he picked up a staggering 417 wickets in addition to scoring two tons and nine fifties. In ODIs and T20Is, he picked up 269 and 25 wickets, respectively.

His last appearance for India came in the 2016 Asia Cup against UAE.
