But despite the fame and the adulation, the prowess in the field as seen with the bat and some quickfire knocks for the Indian side in the shortest format of the sport, there’s no waning at all in terms of the bond and camaraderie between the mentor and his disciple.

Abhishek Sharma and Yuvraj Singh get to spend a lot of time as and when the two dashing cricketers can and that’s fine to see even as the young left hander for India is a popular and busy figure in the contemporary annals of the game for the country.

As his bday is on September 4, the two were seen sharing a funny banter of a moment with Yuvraj asking his doting friend Abhishek to do some exercises as part of his fitness regimen and while the young batter was doing that with a cute smile, there was a wonderful message that the Indian great had for his friend.

The same is doing rounds over social media:

“Sir Abhishek, it’s your birthday. What an auspicious day. Love the person you’ve become- sharing and caring to those around you and a leader! Always willing to learn from your failures and willing to put in more hard work each time. Wishing you a year of runs and tons. Lots of love always, 🤗!”

Yuvraj’s guidance of Abhishek is rather exemplary and shows us that cricket is a selfless contest where it’s not about insularities and readers all the time and that a lot of good happens when ideas are exchanged and bonds are forged with much affection. As is the case here between these two fantastic talents from a common region!
