Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh is making most of his spare time while most of the world is under lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic. The 2011 World-cup winning player shared an interesting post on Instagram of one of his fans suggesting a solution to end India's batting problems. The fan can be seen holding a board while providing three solutions to overcome them. The board read "Call Yuvi, WhatsApp Yuvi and Wait for Yuvi jr,".

Yuvraj Singh liked the photo so much that he went ahead to upload it on his Instagram story. The 38-year-old also added a laughing emoticon in the story. The fan's wit might be born out of Yuvraj recently criticizing the Indian selectors and team management too frequently, especially MSK Prasad and Virat Kohli for India's 2019 World Cup semi-final exit. The selectors not going ahead with Ambati Rayudu baffled not just Yuvraj, but many like Gautam Gambhir as well. Yuvraj also took a subtle dig at Ravi Shastri over the side's coaching setup as he called for the youngsters to be handled with lot of encouragement rather than insecurity for losing their place in the team and not performing in crunch situations.

The challenge went viral on social media as many other cricketers also took part in it.

Yuvraj Singh recently went live on Instagram with former English captain Kevin Pietersen. Both the players talked about the time when Kevin Pietersen called Yuvraj Singh a pie chucker for his balling action. "My email address still has the word ''pie chucker'' in it, I laughed so much when you described me as a pie chucker for my bowling style. I made an email id and included the word pie chucker in that and it is my favourite email address. Sometimes, even my friends go like, hey how are you pie chucker," added Yuvraj Singh.
