Yuvraj Singh Announces His Retirement, See How Other Players Reacted
Indian cricket team player Yuvraj Singh announced the end of his cricket career in a heartfelt press conference in Mumbai. Yuvraj held a press conference on Monday and confirmed his retirement from all types of rival cricket. After the announcement, a short video was played showcasing his relationship with his parents.
During the press conference, Yuvraj had a hard time holding back his tears as he became very emotional. “I have been playing international cricket on and off for 17 years. Now, it is time to say goodbye, to move on and walk away. It has been a roller coaster ride and a great story but it has to come to an end,” said Yuvraj.
“This is the best time to move on,” he added.
While the news saddened all his fans, it also deeply affected his cricketer friends. Other players like Virat Kohli, VVS Laxman, took to Twitter to congratulate him on his successful career and paid their tribute to India’s 2011 World Cup-winning hero.
Suresh Raina even called it end of an era.
