· Yahoo Sports
Following Ben Stokes' shock retirement from international cricket, tributes have continued to pour in from across the cricketing world. The latest to join the chorus of praise is former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, who penned a heartfelt message for the England great, celebrating not only his extraordinary achievements but also the resilience that defined his career.
Stokes stunned the cricket fraternity by announcing his retirement during the third Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge. Since revealing his decision midway through the fourth day, the England all-rounder has not spoken publicly, having told his emotional teammates before play that the "reasons why can wait."
Taking to X, Yuvraj paid a glowing tribute to Stokes' remarkable journey, highlighting his unforgettable performances, leadership, and ability to overcome adversity.
''A World Cup final innings that nobody who watched it will ever forget. A 135 not out at Headingley that rewrote what was possible. The courage to speak openly about mental health when most wouldn’t. Losing his father. And coming back every single time. I know what it feels like to be on top of the world one day and at your absolute lowest the next and I saw that same journey in you. That is what separates the good from the truly great. Not the records. Not the trophies. The ability to get back up. 15 years. Two World Cup winners medals. A captain who made his team believe anything was possible. One of the finest that the game will always remember. Congratulations on an epic career!
The game will miss you, Ben. Enjoy the next chapter. You’ve earned it!'' Yuvraj Wrote on X.
