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 37-year-old is also the first player to score a half-century as well as record a five-wicket haul in the same world cup match.
Not only this, Yuvraj also played a crucial role in ensuring victory for India in the 2007 T-20 World Cup as well as the ODI World Cup in 2011.
On the 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.
The spirit with which you have overcome every obstacle in life both on and off the field is the stuff of legends. Wishing a very happy birthday to the one and only @yuvstrong12! Have a great one.#HappyBirthdayYuvi pic.twitter.com/GaMdWG6eUU
