India's legendary all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has been a guiding light for many young cricketers, and among them is the promising talent, Abhishek Sharma. The young left-handed batter, who has made significant strides in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, owes much of his success to Yuvraj's mentorship. 

The bond between Yuvraj and Abhishek is more than just a mentor-mentee relationship; it's a story of two cricketers from Punjab, united by their love for the game and a shared commitment to excellence.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Yuvraj Singh took a group of young Punjab cricketers under his wing. Abhishek Sharma, along with players like Shubman Gill, Anmolpreet Singh, and Prabhsimran Singh, was invited to a five-week training camp at Yuvraj's home. 

This experience proved to be a turning point in Abhishek's career. Under Yuvraj's watchful eye, the youngsters honed their skills, learned the importance of fitness, and developed a deeper understanding of match situations.

"Happy birthday sir Abhishek. Hope you take as many singles this year as many as you knock out of the park. Keep putting in the hard work! Loads of love and wishes for a great year ahead!" Yuvraj wrote.
