अंतरराष्ट्रीय क्रिकेट में 17 साल बिताने के बाद सिक्सर किंग और भारतीय क्रिकेट के बेहतरीन हरफनमौला खिलाड़ियों में से एक युवराज सिंह ने सोमवार को क्रिकेट के सभी प्रारूपों से संन्यास की घोषणा कर दी.
युवराज द्वारा संन्यास की घोषणा के बाद तमाम बड़े दिग्ग्जों ने उन्हें नई पारी की शुभकामनाएं दीं. साथ ही उनके क्रिकेट करियर को भी जमकर सराहना मिली.
भारत के सलामी बल्लेबाज रोहित शर्मा ने ट्वीट कर कहा, 'आपको नहीं पता है कि इस दौरान आपने क्या पाया है. लव यू भाई, आप बेहतर विदाई के हकदार थे.' जवाब में युवराज ने भी अपना दर्द बयां किया. युवराज ने लिखा, 'आपको पता है कि मुझे अंदर ही अंदर क्या फील हो रहा है! लव यू भाई, तुम एक लेजेंड बनो.'
You know how I feel inside ! Love u brothaman you go be a legend ❤️

पूर्व भारतीय कप्तान और दादा के नाम से मशहूर सौरव गांगुली के ट्वीट पर युवराज ने लिखा, धन्यवाद दादी. युवराज ने लिखा, 'मुझे भारत के लिए खेलने और मेरे सपने को जीने का मौका देने के लिए धन्यवाद दादी जी. आप हमेशा मेरे लिए खास रहेंगे.'
Thanks Dadi for giving me an opportunity to play for india and live my dream 🙏 you will always be special to me

सचिन ने भी उन्हें धन्यवाद कहा और कहा कि युवराज तुम हर उस वक्त टीम के साथ खड़े रहे जब टीम को तुम्हारी जरूरत थी. जवाब में युवराज ने लिखा, 'मास्टर आपका धन्यवाद! मैं बहुत भाग्यशाली हूं कि मुझे इतने सालों तक आपके साथ खेलने का मैका मिला, और अपने से ज्यादा एक टीम के रूप में आपके लिए विश्व कप जीतना अधिक संतोषजनक था! आम हमेशा मेरे लिए वहां रहे इसके लिए धन्यवाद.'

युवराज पहले ऐसे ऑलराउंडर हैं, जिन्होंने किसी विश्व कप में 300 से अधिक रन बनाने के अलावा 15 विकेट भी हासिल किए हों.
