[WATCH]: “Our Biggest Comebacks Stem From Our Greatest Setbacks” – Yuvraj Singh Celebrates Virat Kohli’s 36th Birthday By Sharing Old Footage

Former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh took to social media on Tuesday, November 5, to wish Virat Kohli on his 36th birthday. Kohli’s most recent performance came in the recently concluded three-match Test series against New Zealand, where the visiting team made history by becoming the first to whitewash India in a three-match series on home ground.

Kohli had a tough series, managing only 93 runs from six innings. Prior to that, he scored just 99 runs in two matches against Bangladesh, which has sparked ongoing criticism of his form.

On Kohli’s 36th birthday, Yuvraj shared a heartfelt message, expressing his belief that Kohli would make a strong comeback, as he has done in the past, while also posting some nostalgic throwback footage.

“Wishing you a very Happy Birthday #KingKohli! The greatest comebacks emerge from our setbacks and the world eagerly looks forward to your solid comeback (fire emoji) you’ve done it in the past and I’m sure you will do it yet again (other emojis) God bless! lots of love,” he wrote.

Yuvraj retired from international cricket in 2019 and has since competed in various Legends League tournaments. The 42-year-old’s latest appearance was in July 2024, when the India Champions defeated the Pakistan Champions to claim the World Championship of Legends title.
