The Men in Blue won their record-extending ninth Asia Cup title with a five-wicket win over Pakistan in the final on Sunday, September 28. The side chased down a 147-run target in a last-over thriller.

Abhishek posted a couple of pictures with Yuvraj. Notably, Yuvraj has been a mentor to the swashbuckling batter and played a significant role in his career.

"No caption needed."

Yuvraj penned down a hilarious comment on the post, urging the southpaw to also take singles instead of just hitting sixes. He wrote:

"Single bhi Lelo maharaj! (Take singles too)"

It is worth mentioning that Yuvraj Singh's comments were a reference to the words he used while overseeing one of Abhishek Sharma's practice sessions last year. He posted the video on his mentee's 24th birthday.
