Sports fraternity reacts to Yuvraj's retirement

Mumbai: Yuvraj endured a lot to reach the pinnacle, but, the journey to the peak was tough. However, during his journey to the top there were many setbacks. And, during those setbacks only, he had important people to back him up. Sachin was one of those people, who supported him during crisis.

After the 37-year-old announced his decision to retire, Master Blaster, Sachin thanked Yuvraj for his services. Yuvi entered the international cricket scenario after elevating the style quotient and swag which once used to be a sober dressing room through-out the 17 years.

Sachin Tendulkar tweeted “What a fantastic career you have had Yuvi, you have come out as a true champ everytime the team needed you, the fight you put up through all the ups & downs on & off the field is just amazing. Best of luck for your 2nd innings & thanks for all that you have done for cricket.”
