Sports fraternity wishes Yuvraj on his 2nd innings

Congratulatory wishes and tributes celebrating Yuvraj Singh's illustrious career continued pouring in a day after the stylish all-rounder called time on his international career. Yuvraj brought the curtains down on a roller-coaster international career during which he became the hero of India's World Cup triumph and fought a gritty battle with cancer.

Yuvraj, who last played for India in June 2017 in an ODI against West Indies, had been contemplating retirement for some time. During his 17-year stint at international cricket, he won two World Cups – the inaugural ICC World T20 in 2007 and then the ODI World Cup in 2011.
