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

“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. 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 (You’ll always be Cheeku for me and for the world
you’ll be the King). Always keep the fire inside you burning. You’re a
superstar. Here’s a special golden boot for you. Keep making the country
proud!,” Yuvraj Singh wrote on Instagram.
