India's former star cricketer and 2011 World Cup's 'Man of the Tournament' Yuvraj Singh exuded emotions while penning a wholehearted letter to India's former captain Virat Kohli. Yuvraj recalled Virat's journey and said that latter's determination and hard work has inspired the youth across the globe.
Not just this, Yuvraj also took the opportunity to gift Virat golden boots to celebrate his illustrious career and time as one of India's most successful captains which has brought smiles to millions of fans all over the world.
"Virat, I've seen you grow as a cricketer and as a person. From that young boy in the nets who would walk shoulder-to-shoulder with the legends of Indian cricket, you're now a legend yourself leading the way for a new generation. Your discipline in the nets, passion on the field and dedication to the sport inspires every young kid in this country to pick up the bat and dream of putting on the blue jersey one day," Yuvraj wrote in the letter.
“To the little boy from Delhi @imvkohli. I want to dedicate this special shoe to you, celebrating your career and time as captain which has brought smiles to millions of fans all over the world. I hope you stay the way YOU are, play the way YOU do and keep making the country proud,” Yuvraj Singh tweeted.
India's former star batter, who holds the record of fastest fifty in T20 Internationals against his name, also recounted the memories spent together with Virat.
“You have elevated your level of cricket every single year and achieved so much already in this wonderful game that it makes me even more excited to watch you embark on this new chapter in your career. You have been a legendary captain and a fantastic leader. I’m expecting many more of your famous run chases,” he added.
Virat recently stepped down as India’s captain from all three formats but Yuvraj hoped that Kohli would keep his never ending appetite to succeed as long as he is playing.
“Mere liye tu hamesha Cheeku rahega aur duniya ke liye King Kohli (for me you will always be Cheeku and King Kohli for rest of the world). Always keep the fire inside you burning. You’re a superstar. Here’s a special golden boot for you. Keep making the country proud!” Yuvraj added.
