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.

Seoul (AP): South Korea's impeached president will appear at a hearing in a Seoul court on Saturday to oppose a formal arrest over last month's imposition of martial law, his lawyers said.
Yoon Suk Yeol, who has been in detention since he was apprehended on Wednesday in a massive law enforcement operation at his residence, faces potential rebellion charges linked to his declaration of martial law on Dec. 3, which set off the country's most serious political crisis since its democratization in the late 1980s.
The Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials, which is leading a joint investigation with police and the military, requested the Seoul Western District Court to grant a warrant for Yoon's formal arrest.
Yoon is expected to argue that there's no need for him to be in custody during an investigation at a hearing set for 2 pm this afternoon. The judge is anticipated to make a decision by late Saturday or early Sunday.
After meeting Yoon at the detention center, Yoon Kab-keun, one of the president's lawyers, said in a text message that Yoon had his legal team's advice to appear personally before the judge. The president plans to argue that his decree was a legitimate exercise of his powers and that accusations of rebellion would not hold up before a criminal court or the Constitutional Court, which is reviewing whether to formally remove him from office or reinstate him, his lawyer said.
Hundreds of supporters rallied overnight at the court, calling for Yoon's release.
If Yoon is arrested, investigators can extend his detention to 20 days, during which they will transfer the case to public prosecutors for indictment. If the court rejects the investigators' request, Yoon will be released and return to his residence.
Nine people, including Yoon's defense minister, police chief, and several top military commanders, have already been arrested and indicted for their roles in the enforcement of martial law.
The crisis began when Yoon, in an attempt to break through legislative gridlock, imposed military rule and sent troops to the National Assembly and election offices. The standoff lasted only hours after lawmakers who managed to get through a blockade voted to lift the measure. The opposition-dominated assembly voted to impeach him on Dec. 14.
If Yoon is formally arrested, it could mark the beginning of an extended period in custody for him, lasting months or more.
If prosecutors indict Yoon on rebellion and abuse of power charges, which are the allegations now being examined by investigators, they could keep him in custody for up to six months before trial.
Under South Korean law, orchestrating a rebellion is punishable by life imprisonment or the death penalty.
Yoon's lawyers have argued that there is no need to detain him during the investigation, saying he doesn't pose a threat to flee or destroy evidence.
Investigators respond that Yoon ignored several requests to appear for questioning, and that the presidential security service blocked an attempt to detain him on Jan. 3. His defiance has raised concerns about whether he would comply with criminal court proceedings if he's not under arrest.
