Well-played boys, goodnight in-laws: Yuvraj Singh's cheeky tweet after IND's win vs ENG
Former India cricketer and ambassador of the T20 World Cup 2024 Yuvraj Singh put up a cheeky tweet on 'X' after India's win in the semi-final match over England. The 2007 T20 World Cup winner Yuvraj took to 'X' to congratulate the Indian team and took a sly dig at England as he said "goodnight in-laws". Yuvraj is married to Hazel Keech, who is an actress and model who was born and brought up in Britain and hence, Yuvraj has connections with England. However, Yuvraj was elated with India's win as they knocked England out to storm into the final of the T20 World Cup 2024.
India managed to avenge the loss of the T20 World Cup 2022 semi-final as they beat England by 68 runs at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on June 27, Thursday. It was payback time and the Indian team delivered and how? It was a one-sided affair in the semi-final as India put up a dominating show with the bat as well as the ball.
