On the occasion of his 40th birthday on Sunday, former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has announced a special gift for his fans. He revealed that he is going to make a big NFT collection for them. The collection will be launched on Christmas day.

An NFT or a Non-fungible Token is a non-interchangeable unit of data stored on a digital ledger (blockchain). It is mostly associated with reproducible digital files like photos, videos, and audio.

Taking to his Twitter account on Sunday, birthday boy Yuvraj posted a special message for his fans and wrote:

A few days back, Yuvraj had shared a teaser on his social media handles, stating that he had a big surprise in store for all his fans. Sharing a short clip, the former cricketer wrote:

“It’s that time of the year. Are you ready? Do you have what it takes? Have a big surprise for all you guys! Stay tuned!”

Wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik featured on India’s first-ever sports NFT. The NFT collection included the match-winning last-ball six he hit during the 2018 India-Bangladesh Nidahas Trophy final.
