'Hope It’s Trophy No. 2 For GT This Year': Yuvraj Singh Posts Special Birthday Message For Ashish Nehra

Ashish Nehra, the former India pacer and current Gujarat Titans coach, turned 44 on Saturday. The Delhi-born cricketer was one of the most potent fast bowlers in the Indian cricket team during his playing days and was also part of the 2011 World Cup-winning team. The lanky left-arm seamer shares a great camaraderie with several players due to his amiable personality. Yuvraj Singh, who shared a good bond with the GT head coach, posted a heartwarming birthday wish for him on Twitter.

While sharing a lovely montage of Nehra, Yuvraj wrote, “Wishing our one & only Nehra ji a very Happy Birthday. Hilte, jhulte, naachte, gaate zindagi ki khushiyan manate raho. Hope it’s trophy no. 2 for GT this year. Lots of love my brother! See you soon.”

After retiring from the game, Nehra has achieved success as a coach. He is currently the coach of the Gujarat Titans franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
