Congratulatory wishes and tributes celebrating Yuvraj Singh's illustrious career continued pouring in a day after the stylish all-rounder called time on his international career.
Yuvraj brought the curtains down on a roller-coaster international career during which he became the hero of India's World Cup triumph and fought a gritty battle with cancer.
Yuvraj, who last played for India in June 2017 in an ODI against West Indies, had been contemplating retirement for some time.
During his 17-year stint at international cricket, he won two World Cups the inaugural ICC World T20 in 2007 and then the ODI World Cup in 2011.
Following is the compilation of tweets by current and former players.
