New Delhi: As Yuvraj Singh faces public ire for his poor showing in the lost World T20 final against Sri Lanka, many of his fans in Bollywood have rallied behind the batsman.
Yuvraj’s 21-ball 11 sucked the momentum out of India’s innings on Sunday and some unruly fans pelted stones at the all-rounder’s residence in Chandigarh.
Bollywood took to social media to extend their support to the left-hander, who was instrumental in getting two World Cups to India – the 2007 T20 title and the 50-over trophy in 2011.
Amitabh Bachchan wrote on his blog, “Ok …. so we lost to Sri Lanka in the World Cup final T20 tonight .. yes disappointed, but proud of our team and our boys for reaching the final, against the best teams in the world .. it was just not our day and the better team won… congratulations to Sri Lanka, who played really well.”
Others who came to Yuvraj’s support were Shobhaa De and Varun Dhawan. (PTI)
