Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh recalled a hilarious anecdote from his past when he was dating a Bollywood actress in 2007. Singh, who later got married to Hazel Keech, revealed that he was seeing an actress when he and his side were set to clash against Australia in the famous Test tour of 2007-08. The former cricketer revealed that the actress, who is quite popular today, followed him to Canberra during the team’s tour.
Singh said that he was in a stressful phase of career and wanted to focus on his game, hence, asked the actress to not meet him for a while. However, the actress, who was shooting in Australia, flew to Canberra to be with the cricketer.
Had to wear pink slip-ons belonging to the actress: Yuvraj Singh
The cricketer revealed shocking yet hilarious details and talked about an incident when he had to wear the actress’ pink slip-ons to the airport. Singh appeared on Club Prairie Fire’s YouTube channel and said, “I was dating an actress, I won’t name her; (She is) very good at the moment and very experienced. She was shooting in Adelaide. I told her, listen, let’s not meet for a bit because I’m on Australia tour, and need to focus. She followed me to Canberra in the bus. In two Tests, I didn’t get many runs. And I was like, ‘what are you doing here?’ And she was like, ‘I want to spend time with you.”
Singh revealed that he had to board the team bus in ten minutes when he got to know that she packed his shoes in the suitcase. With nothing to wear, the cricketer was forced to wear the actress’ pink slip-ons. The 2011 World Cup winner said, “In the morning, I was like ‘where are my shoes’? She said, ‘I packed them’. I asked, ‘How would I go on the bus’? And she said, ‘Wear mine’. She had these pink slip-ons. And I was like, ‘Oh my god’. I had to wear those pink slip-ons, and I was carrying my bag in front of my shoes to hide them. The guys saw it, and they clapped for me. I had to wear pink slip-ons to the airport until I bought flip-flops there.”
Yuvraj Singh recalls how Andrew Flintoff provoked him to smack six sixes in T20 World Cup 2007
The former cricketer also revealed what England’s Andrew Flintoff told him during their verbal spat in the T20 World Cup 2007, which provoked the former to hit six sixes. On the same podcast, Singh recalled, “Freddie bowled two good balls, he bowled a length ball, which went for a boundary, and a good yorker, which I hit over the point. When I was walking after taking a single, he said, "F... shit shots.”
The 42-year-old added, "He repeated that on my face. I walked towards him; he kind of spat on me. I showed him my bat, saying that you know where it's going to go. It got worse after that. Then the umpire came in.” Singh continued, "I hit Freddie for a six, I enjoyed it more.”
