Former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh shared a heartfelt message for Australian opener David Warner, who retired from international cricket on Tuesday, June 25.
Warner, who is widely cherished as one of the most beloved overseas cricketers in India, had an unexpected exit from international cricket as Australia exited the T20 World Cup 2024 following Afghanistan’s win over Bangladesh in the final Super 8 match.
The left-handed batsman had previously retired from Tests and ODIs. Many former cricketers expressed their best wishes to Warner on social media, and Yuvraj Singh also joined in extending his warm wishes to the esteemed cricketer on his retirement.
On X platform, Yuvraj posted:
“No one likes a quiet goodbye, but that’s the game of life mate. Well done on an incredible career @davidwarner31! From smashing boundaries on the park to nailing Bollywood moves and dialogues, you’ve done it all in true #Warner style.”
“A feared batsman, a lively teammate and a true entertainer on and off the field,” he continued. “It was a pleasure sharing the dressing room with you buddy. Go well #legend and enjoy your well-deserved time off with the lovely family.”
