Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh who holds the record of scoring the fastest half-century in T20 Internationals having registered the same in twelve deliveries, celebrated his 37th birthday on Wednesday.
The cricketer is also the only player in Indian history to be a part of 3 World Cup winning campaigns- U-19 World Cup 2000, T20 World Cup 2007 as well as the ODI World Cup 2011.
On this occasion, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), International Cricket Council (ICC), fellow cricketers, took to Twitter to express their love and good wishes for the legendary player.
