Recalling his Indian Premier League (IPL) stint with David Warner in Sunrisers Hyderabad jersey, Yuvraj Singh penned a heartfelt note for the swashbuckling opening batter. “No one likes a quiet goodbye, but that’s the game of life mate. Well done on an incredible career David Warner! 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. 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,” India’s World Cup-winning former all-rounder posted on X (formerly Twitter).
