India Test skipper Virat Kohli on Sunday shared a heartwarming video to wish former all-rounder Yuvraj Singh on his 40th birthday.

The World Cup-winning star had a glorious 17-year long international career complete with achievements that every cricketer dreams of. Coming from the Northern part of the country, both share similar interests, especially their love for Punjabi food, fashion and music, said Kohli, as he relieved and narrated throwback moments from their tournaments in this special birthday wish for Yuvraj.

Yuvraj announced retirement from all forms of cricket on June 10, 2019. In a career that spanned over 304 ODIs, 58 T20Is, and 40 Tests, Yuvraj imprinted his place in the echelons of cricket as a player who could pretty much win matches for his side either through his electric fielding, deceptive bowling or fierce batting.
