It is a hard pill to swallow for cricketers lovers after Yuvraj Singh announced his retirement from international cricket. A section of social media believed the southpaw didn’t get a fitting farewell from the game that he played for 19 years.
India’s current vice-captain Rohit Sharma was among the firsts to put his thoughts out for 37-year-old cricketer, who in a cryptic tweet Monday night, wrote that Yuvraj “deserved a better send off.” To which Yuvraj promptly replied by saying, “You know how I feel inside ! Love u brothaman you go be a legend.”
Seconding Rohit Sharma’s thoughts, they were quick to trend #YuviDeservesProperFarewell on the microblogging site.
Some users went as far as tagging the official handles of ICC and BCCI on Twitter and requested the cricket bodies to arrange for a special farewell match as a tribute to Yuvraj’s contribution to Team India.
Have a look at the Tweets below:
