Yuvraj Singh posts birthday video for Abhishek Sharma

Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh posted a light-hearted video on Instagram wishing Abhishek Sharma on his 26th birthday. In the clip, Sharma performs sit-ups as playful punishment for rash shots.

Yuvraj wrote that he hopes Sharma enjoys a year of runs and centuries. The Sunrisers Hyderabad 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. Gautam Gambhir has asked selectors to consider giving Vaibhav Sooryavanshi a new opening partner for that series.
