Former Indian legendary all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has once again set social media abuzz with his trademark wit and charm. Amid the high-octane action of IPL 2026, Yuvraj shared a light-hearted video that has gone viral, featuring a “thoughtful gesture” from Rishabh Pant—and a comedic reality check for his other mentees, including Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma.
The Gift That Started the Banter
The playful drama began when Rishabh Pant, currently captaining the Lucknow Super Giants, sent Yuvraj a premium golf club accompanied by a handwritten note. Pant, who has frequently sought Yuvraj’s guidance on temperament and technique, expressed his deep gratitude for the veteran’s mentorship. Yuvraj, an avid golfer in his post-retirement life, was seen unboxing the gift with genuine delight, even testing out a few shadow swings for the camera.
“Have Some Shame”: Yuvraj Calls Out His Mentees
While Yuvraj was full of praise for Pant, he didn’t miss the opportunity to playfully roast his other students. Looking directly into the camera, Yuvraj jokingly addressed Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, and his other trainees with a blunt “Sharam karo!” (Have some shame). He pointed out that while Pant was busy sending thoughtful gifts and heartfelt notes, the rest of them had yet to step up their game in the gifting department. The comment, though purely in jest, highlights the close, elder-brotherly bond Yuvraj maintains with India’s rising cricket stars.
Mentorship Beyond the Boundary
Since retiring, Yuvraj has become a pivotal figure in the development of young Indian talent. His work with Shubman Gill during the off-season and his constant backing of Abhishek Sharma have been well-documented. This latest social media interaction serves as a reminder of his continued influence on the “Next Gen” of Indian cricket, proving that while he may be off the pitch, he is still very much in the middle of the dressing room camaraderie.
