'Love The Person You Have Become': Yuvraj's Wishes For 'Sir Abhishek' On His Birthday

Yuvi Wishes "Sir Abhishek" a Happy 26th Birthday 🎂

Happy birthday to the left-handed firecracker Abhishek Sharma! Former India star Yuvraj Singh took to Instagram today to send some heartfelt (and slightly cheeky) wishes to his mentee on his 26th cakeday.

A Mentor's Praise

Yuvi has been instrumental in Abhishek's rise—helping him climb to No.1 in the T20I rankings and reinvent the batting template for India. His message was warm: "Love the person you have become—sharing and caring, a leader, always learning from failures and putting in more hard work. Wishing you a year of runs and tons!"

The Funny Bit

The accompanying video is pure gold. Yuvraj, ever the coach, tells the youngster not to play rash opening shots—"Mai pehli ball te lappa nahi maanga"—and makes him do sit-ups for his errors. Abhishek's reply? "Mai pehli ball te lift nahi maanga." Pure banter. The clip also shows the trio (Yuvi, Abhishek & Sanju Samson) enjoying Wimbledon at SW19, with Abhishek asking for Yuvi's "aashirwaad"—to which he simply replies "Always."

The Numbers Speak

- 2 T20I tons, 11 fifts in 55 Inn

- Holds the 2nd-fastest Indian T20I ton (37 balls vs England last yr) — only behind Rohit Sharma's 35-ball blitz (2017)

Worth Watching

The Southpaw's form has dipped slightly lately—just one fifty in his last 10 Inn, with four single-digit dismissals. But given his pedigree, this is just a blip. Here's to another big year ahead for Sir Abhishek! 🏏
