On the grand occasion of Sachin Tendulkar's 50th birthday, his long-time teammate Yuvraj Singh made a big revelation about him while wishing the legendary Indian batter. Yuvraj said Sachin is a great TT player. One of the most memorable moments that Yuvraj and Sachin shared on the field was them lifting the World Cup trophy in 2011, which Yuvraj single-handedly won by scoring over 350 runs and taking 15 wickets for India.

"I want to say a lot of things but I have to be careful what I say to him. When he gets angry, you've got to make sure that you stay away from him! The greater he's become, the more humble he is. He's an artist when it comes to cricket. You cannot beat him in table tennis, no matter how hard you try," Yuvraj Singh said in a video posted on his Twitter account.
"I was shooting with him the other day and told him it's your 50th birthday. We've got something special. An he was like, no it's my 25th birthday. He's been like a mentor to me. Especially in my tough times, he has helped me with his positivity. Happy birthday master! Lots of love and best wishes. It's a special one."
Sachin and Yuvraj have played a lot of cricket together for the national team and were best of friends in the dressing room.
In a recent exclusive interaction with PTI, Yuvraj called Sachin a "guardian angel" who, in his own words, is also his life coach both on and off the field.
"When I played international cricket, we had coaches but if I faced any technical issues with my batting, he was my 'go-to' person. He provided solutions but he wasn't just my cricketing idol," Yuvraj had told PTI ahead of Sachin's 50th birthday.
"Beyond 22 yards also, he is like a guardian angel for me. Whenever I have faced any personal crisis or dilemmas in life, Paaji would be one of the first persons that I would dial. And he would always have the best life lessons and advice for me," he said.
