INDIA vs ENGLAND, 3RD ODI: Shortly after India beat England by 5 wickets in the third ODI in Manchester to capture the ODI series 2-1, a tweet by Yuvraj Singh went viral. This tweet was about Rishabh Pant. Yuvraj indicated in the tweet that he and the Indian wicketkeeper-batsman had a 45-minute conversation before the match and as a result, Rishabh Pant managed to score his maiden century in One Day Internationals.
Yuvraj Singh wrote in his tweet, ‘It seems that 45 minutes of conversation showed an effect!! Well Plaid (played well) Rishabh Pant. In this way you can advance your innings. It was great to see Hardik Pandya also playing. Thousands of people retweeted this tweet of his and many people commented. @monarch__baweja wrote, ‘Have you not noticed Virat Kohli?’
@lmblackpanther wrote, ‘Jersey No. 17 scored his first century in One Day International on July 17. The captain and former captain scored 17 runs in the same match. @BabaBlinder wrote, ‘After watching Rishabh Pant batting, Virat Kohli will ask you to give some knowledge to us too.’
@rashidahmed87 Reminisced of the NatWest Trophy final. He wrote, ‘The innings of Pant and Hardik reminds us of the wonderful innings of you and Kaif. It was great to see young players repeating history. It was a great flashback.’ Similarly, @GauravS31252693 wrote, ‘Missed your innings a lot today. Evergreen player @YuvrajSingh.
However, some people did not like Yuvraj Singh’s tweet like this. @bsc_millionaire wrote, ‘It’s called praising yourself. It would have been better if Pant had revealed! Now it looks like you’re giving the credit for her performance to yourself! No resentment, but that’s just how I felt!’ Many more people tweeted like this.
