Upon his arrival at the hotel, the Kitchen staff gave Yuvraj Singh a guard of honour for his fantastic performance in the tournament. Notably, the all-rounder had hurt his calf in the latter part of Sri Lanka’s innings and even limped off the field. Despite the injury, however, he danced while being surrounded by hotel staff honouring him. “Broken Bahubali,” read the caption of the clip. Have a look!
