New Delhi: Veteran Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh has a huge fan following in India, thanks to his heroics on the cricket field. During Sunrisers Hyderabad’s match against Delhi Daredevils at Feroz Shah Kotla stadium on Tuesday, the southpaw played a crucial knock for his team to take them to a respectable total.

After skipper David Warner (30), Shikhar Dhawan (28) and Kane Williamson (24) were dismissed early, the onus was on Yuvi and he didn’t let his fans down and smashed 70 runs off just 41 balls as SRH reached a formidable 185-run target.

While the fans got entertainment worth their money with Yuvraj’s knock, he proved he was also one of game’s finest gentleman during Delhi Daredevils’ innings.
Rishabh Pant, Delhi’s wicketkeeper batsman, was in some spot of bother as his shoe laces were untied. Without much hesitation, Yuvraj, who was fielding nearby, went to the stumper, bent on his knees and tied his laces.

It was a touching gesture from Yuvraj, who is 15 years senior to Pant. The moment was captured by the photographers and was all over the Internet in no time.
Pant went on to score 34 runs off 20 balls as Delhi successfully won the game by defeating Hyderabad by 6 wickets.
Earlier in the tournament, Yuvraj was seen making peace between Kolkata Knight Riders batsman Robin Uthappa and SRH bowler Siddharth Kaul after the former hit him with an elbow after completing a run. (WATCH: Yuvraj Singh intervenes after Robin Uthappa elbows Sidharth Kaul during SRH vs KKR match)
While Uthappa seemed upset with something, Yuvraj went up to him and doused the fire in no time.
