Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, who played a major role in India's 2011 World Cup triumph, a feat that fetched him the man of the tournament award, marked 14 years of India's ODI World Cup win with a collage and stated that the win was a thank you to a legend -- Sachin Tendulkar.

Yuvraj Singh's tweet

 

'April 2, 2011 — the night we did it for a billion people… and for one man who carried Indian cricket on his shoulders for over two decades.

That World Cup wasn’t just a win. It was a thank you to a legend. We grew up watching @sachin_rt. That night, we played to give him the moment he deserved. 14 years later, the memory of India’s win still gives me goosebumps. A night we’ll never forget. @BCCI' Yuvraj Singh tweeted.
