"On public demand, I will be back on pitch by February" Yuvraj Singh drops bomb in 2:30 am Instagram
Yuvraj shared video of his last international century with the post, says nothing feels like this
Former team India all-rounder and hero of 2011 World Cup, Yuvraj Singh in the wee hours of Tuesday dropped a shell for his fans and said he will hopefully be back on the pitch in February next year.
In a late night Instagram post that Yuvraj Singh shared around 2:30 am on Tuesday, Yuvraj said he will come back on the pitch on public demand.
He shared a video with the post of his last international century that came against England at home where both Yuvraj and Dhoni scored centuries to help India recover from early blows.
"God decides your destiny!! On public demand il be back on the pitch hopefully in February! Ain't nothing like this feeling! Thank you for your love and wishes mean a lot to me! Keep supporting. Its our team and a true fan will show his or her support in tough times. #jaihind" Yuvraj wrote in the post.
Although it is not clear if Yuvraj will come out of retirement and play cricket or will be seen in any different role 'on the pitch', the left-handers fans took the moment to express their joy assuming they will see the Yuvraj playing for India again.
Yuvraj's post comes at a time when Indian fans have expressed anguish and disappointment over the team's recent performances in the ongoing T20 WC where it is on the verge of being knocked out from the super 12 stage.
Fans have repeatedly been calling out on players like MS Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina and others to come out of retirement and play for the team again.
Yuvraj's post look set to create buzz in the cricketing circle in days to come as fans will be eager to hear more on the development and hints thrown by the cricketer.

Killing of Khamenei cynical violation of human morality, international law: Putin
Moscow (PTI): The killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was a cynical violation of all norms of human morality and international law, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared in his message to his Tehranian counterpart, the Kremlin said Sunday.
Khamenei was killed in an airstrike in Tehran on Saturday during a joint Israel-US attack on Iran.
“Please accept my deepest condolences in connection with the assassination of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and members of his family, committed in a cynical violation of all norms of human morality and international law,” Putin said in his condolence message.
Putin's condolence message to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian was published on the Kremlin portal.
Earlier on Saturday, Russia condemned the US-Israeli joint strikes on Iran qualifying it as an “unprovoked” aggression against a sovereign state in violation of international law and called for immediate return to diplomacy.
The Russian Foreign Ministry also described the US and Israeli forces' strikes against the Iranian territory as “a pre-planned” act of aggression against an independent UN member state.
Putin also conducted an emergency meeting of the National Security Council online on Saturday to discuss the emerging situation following the US-Israeli strikes and Iran’s retaliation.
Meanwhile, according to reports more than 2,00,000 Russians are stuck in the region due to closure of their airspaces by Iran and Gulf countries.
The situation in the Middle East and the airport closures have affected not only organised tourists from Russia registered with tour operators, but also those travelling on business trips and independently, state-run TASS news agency reported.
“Approximately 2,00,000 people are unable to leave the UAE or return from vacations in the Maldives and other countries,” Alexey Volkov, president of the National Union of Hospitality Industry, told TASS.
UAE and its airports have become a main hub of access to Russia since the Ukraine conflict and closure of EU air space for civilian air traffic under sanction on Moscow.
“The situation remains complex and unpredictable: drone and missile strikes have hit key tourist locations in the UAE, including its most famous hotels.
“And then there are those who aren't counted as tourists at all, but are travelling around the world for business—the Middle East, for example, is currently a major business hub, home to a significant amount of Russian capital, investment, and business,” Volkov said.
