Wishes poured in for former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh as he celebrated his 41st birthday on Monday.
Yuvraj, who announced his retirement from all formats of the game in 2019, played 40 Tests, 304 One-Day Internationals and 58 T20Is, amassing more than 11,000 runs across formats.
He also registered 17 hundreds and 51 half-centuries in a glittering career that spanned over 15 years.
The southpaw was also a part of Indian teams which won the 2007 T20 World, and the 2011 50-over World Cup.
As Yuvraj turned 41 on Monday, the cricket fraternity extended its greetings to the former India star.
Be it on the score board or the box-office, Rajni Sir and my dear friend Yuvraj Singh are both known for smashing hits in their own styles. Happy Birthday to both these stars! Bhai ko pyaar, Sir ko salute.@rajinikanth @YUVSTRONG12 pic.twitter.com/CTlxn73vg8
