Yuvraj Singh gifts ‘special golden boot’ to Virat Kohli in an emotional Instagram Post

Former all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has penned an emotional letter to former Indian skipper Virat Kohli in the latter’s praise and posted it on his Instagram.

Addressing it to Kohli, Yuvraj wrote, “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.”

Heaping praise on Kohli’s contribution to Indian cricket, he wrote, “Your discipline and 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.”

He added, “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.”

Yuvraj, who has played many matches together with Kohli remembered their bonding as he wrote, “I’m glad to have shared a bond with you as a teammate and more so a friend. Scoring runs, pulling people's legs, cheating meals, jamming to Punjabi songs and winning cups, we’ve done it all together. Mere liye tu hamesha Cheeku rahega aur duniya ke liye King Kohli.”

He concluded his letter with a special gift to Kohli as he wrote, “Always keep the fire inside you burning. You’re a superstar. Here’s a special golden boot for you. Keep making the country proud!
