Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh turned 36 today and warm birthday wishes poured in from the cricket fraternity.
From former opener Virender Sehwag to current opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan, all took to their official Twitter handles to wish one of the most loved cricketers across the country.
Sachin Tendulkar shared two pictures with a very emotional caption. "There are champions and then there are fighters. For me, you are both. Wishing you a very happy birthday, Yuvi. May you have a successful year ahead."
Posting a picture of him with Yuvraj, Sehwag continued his typical witty way while wishing the all-rounder on his special occasion.

"Happy Birthday to an inseparable part of my life. Wish you nothing but the very best in everything @YUVSTRONG12. May you have a great year ahead," he said.
Indian batsman Suresh Raina also poured in his warm wishes to Yuvraj and said that the latter has made the country proud in various stages with his powerful performances.
"To someone who has taught us to keep fighting always. You've made us all proud at various stages with your powerful performances. Wishing you a very happy birthday @YUVSTRONG12 May God bless you," he said.

Describing Yuvraj as an `amazing` human being, Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Parthiv Patel also wished Yuvraj on his birthday.

Former Sports Minister Vijay Goel wrote, "Very Happy Birthday to #Indian cricketer @YUVSTRONG12! Keep inspiring & shining."
Yuvraj, who has over 10,000 international runs in over 400 appearances, has been Indian cricket team's go-to player on numerous occasions.
The Chandigarh-based cricketer has always kept his best for the biggest stage, be it hitting six sixes off English bowler Stuart Broad during India's triumphant 2007 T20 World Cup campaign or winning the `Man of the Tournament` in 2011 World Cup winning feat.
After he was diagnosed with cancer and survived, Yuvraj drew inspiration from the Livestrong Foundation in the USA and emerged as a crusader in the fight against cancer.
