Mumbai: Known for his funny nature, Yuvraj Singh never misses out on a chance to troll his former Team India and IPL teammates on social media and he once again had a cheeky comment for a picture posted by Jasprit Bumrah on Instagram.

Bumrah, who on Sunday won the prestigious Polly Umrigar award as well as the Dilip Sardesai honour for his exploits in international cricket in the 2018-19 season, took to Instagram to share a picture of himself with the awards.

"Grateful and honoured to be taking these two awards home tonight," Bumrah captioned the picture on which Yuvraj replied, "Jassi has de thoda no ones taking your trophies away! Jokes apart many congratulations you truly deserve it."

Yuvraj, who played a key role in India's 2011 World Cup win, announced his retirement from all forms of cricket on 10th June 2019, after serving Indian cricket for 19 long years.

One of India's finest all-rounders, Yuvraj featured in 40 Tests, 304 ODIs and 58 T20Is for India.

Meanwhile, Bumrah bagged the award for his outstanding performance in recent past. The 26-year-old pacer bagged a rare record during India tour of Windies in 2019 at Jamaica as he became only the third Indian to claim a hat-trick in the longer format of the game. Bumrah is also the first and only Asian bowler to pick up five-wicket hauls in South Africa, England, Australia and the West Indies.
