Yuvraj Singh shares birthday video with Abhishek Sharma
Yuvraj Singh posted a humorous birthday video for Abhishek Sharma, urging the India opener to convert promise into consistent runs.
Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh posted a light-hearted video wishing Abhishek Sharma on his 26th birthday. In the clip, Sharma is shown doing sit-ups as playful punishment for rash shots.
Yuvraj wrote that he hopes Sharma enjoys a year of runs and centuries. The SRH opener has become a key part of India's T20I middle order after making his debut earlier this year.
Sharma is expected to feature in India's three-match T20I series against Afghanistan starting September 13 in New Delhi.

The video highlights the informal mentoring network that exists outside official selection structures. Sharma's rapid rise means he now carries the weight of expectation that Yuvraj once carried, but without the same time to adjust to international scrutiny.
