"Golf khel bhai" - Yuvraj Singh leaves fans in splits with his reaction to Parthiv Patel's net session
Parthiv Patel was recently spotted sweating it out in the nets as he gears up for his cricketing return. He gave fans a glimpse of his net session by sharing a video on his Instagram handle on Thursday, July 6.
Yuvraj Singh, Parthiv's close friend and former teammate, took advantage of the chance to pull the wicketkeeper-batter's leg. In response to the post, he advised that the former cricketer stick to golf. Yuvraj wrote:
"Golf khel bhai yeh kya kar raha hai (Play Golf, brother. What are you doing?)"
It is worth mentioning that Parthiv Patel announced his retirement from competitive cricket in December 2020. The left-handed batter finished with 1706 runs across formats in international cricket.
The dynamic batter also has a decent record to his name in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The southpaw mustered 2848 runs from 139 matches in the competition.
