Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh brought his trademark wit to social media with a playful jibe at his protégé Abhishek Sharma, the in-form India T20I opener. Yuvraj’s tongue-in-cheek comment came after Abhishek shared a fresh Instagram post, with the mentor once again grabbing attention through light-hearted banter.

Abhishek posted a series of pictures in an all-black outfit, captioned “Just me”, which quickly caught the eye of fans. Reacting to the post, Yuvraj humorously reminded the youngster not to sing his own praises.
“Apni tariffan aap hi! Wah chote dean saab,” Yuvraj commented, leaving followers amused as the exchange went viral.
The friendly banter comes at a time when Abhishek is enjoying a purple patch at the international level. The left-hander recently produced a stunning knock against New Zealand in the third T20I, registering the second-fastest fifty by an Indian in men’s T20 internationals.
Abhishek raced to his half-century in just 14 balls at the Barsapara Stadium, narrowly missing Yuvraj’s iconic 12-ball fifty, the fastest by an Indian in the format.
His explosive start laid the foundation for India’s rapid chase of 154, which was completed in just 10 overs to secure an emphatic eight-wicket win and an unassailable 3–0 lead in the five-match series. Abhishek finished unbeaten on 68 off 20 deliveries, hammering five sixes and seven fours, further cementing his place as a key figure at the top of India’s T20I batting order.
