Yuvraj Singh made the comment during an Instagram live session with his former India and IPL teammate Rohit Sharma. The live session was done over a month ago but netizens are still unhappy with Yuvraj Singh's insensitive comment. 

On Tuesday, the Twitterati created a hashtag #युवराज_सिंह_माफी_मांगो which means 'Yuvraj Singh apologise'. The hashtag started trending in no time as it saw more than 25,000 tweets with users demanding an apology from the former India all-rounder. During the conversation between the two cricketers, Yuzvendra Chahal's name came up in their discussion. Yuzvendra Chahal is one of the funniest cricketers on social media and regularly gets trolled by his teammates for his funny TikTok videos.
