A day after cricketer Yuvraj Singh announced his retirement from all forms of the game, actress Preity Zinta, who owns Indian Premier League (IPL) team Kings XI Punjab, of which Yuvraj was a star player, thanked him for all the "wonderful times and moments" he gave to the game and to her team. She tweeted: "Dearest Yuvraj Singh... Wish you all the best in your life as you move forward.

Yuvraj Singh replied: "Thank You, PZ for your love and wishes."
