New Delhi: Indian cricket team's former all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, who played a crucial role in helping team India win two World Cups, took the social media by storm with his heartwarming gesture for Virat Kohli. Yuvraj had won over the fans with his emotional note for Kohli.

In reply to Yuvraj's wonderful gesture, Virat Kohli thanked the legend for sending the letter and called Yuvraj's battle with cancer an "inspiration for people in all walks of life not just cricket."

"Yuvi Pa thank you for this wonderful gesture," Kohli wrote. "Coming from someone who's seen my career unfold from day 1, it means a lot. Your life and your comeback from cancer was, is and will always be an inspiration for people in all walks of life not just cricket.

"I've known you for who you are and you've always been very generous and caring for people around you. Now we're both parents and know what a blessing that is. I wish you all the happiness, beautiful memories and blessings in this new journey. God bless Yuvi Pa. Rab rakha."

Virat Kohli made himself unavailable for the upcoming India-Sri Lanka T20 International series as the star player has been rested, keeping in mind the workload management. Virat Kohli left team India's captaincy in all three formats between September 2021 and January 2022.

"Virat, I've seen you grow as a cricketer and as a person. From that young boy in the nets who would walk shoulder-to-shoulder with the legends of Indian cricket, you’re now a legend yourself leading the way for a new generation," Yuvraj had captioned his post on Instagram.

"Your discipline and passion on the field and dedication to the sport inspires every young kid in this country to pick up the bat and dream of putting on the blue jersey one day. You have elevated your level of cricket every single year and achieved so much already in this wonderful game that it makes me even more excited to watch you embark on this new chapter in your career. You have been a legendary captain and a fantastic leader. I’m expecting many more of your famous run chases.

"I'm glad to have shared a bond with you as a teammate and more so a friend. Scoring runs, pulling people's legs, cheating meals, jamming to Punjabi songs and winning cups, we've done it all together. Mere liye tu hamesha Cheeku rahega aur duniya ke liye King Kohli. Always keep the fire inside you burning. You're a superstar. Here's a special golden boot for you. Keep making the country proud."
