Former India captain Virat Kohli has responded to Yuvraj Singh's heartfelt handwritten note and thanked his "Yuvi pa" for the wonderful gesture. Kohli took to Twitter to share an image of the special shoe and Yuvraj's handwritten note and an older picture of theirs.

Both Yuvraj and Kohli helped India to victory on many occasions with their impressive match-defining partnerships. 

Last month, Yuvraj and his wife Hazel Keech welcomed their first child, a baby boy. Kohli wished good luck to Yuvraj on his new journey as a parent, saying "Now we're both parents and know what a blessing that is. I wish you all the happiness, beautiful memories and blessings in this new journey." 

Earlier, in the letter, Yuvraj had commended Kohli for his dedication and discipline towards cricket that serves as an inspiration for the future cricketers. 

"Virat, I've seen you grow as a cricketer and as a person. From that young boy in the nets who would walk shoulder-to-shoulder with the legends of Indian cricket, you're now a legend yourself leading the way for a new generation. Your discipline in the nets, passion on the field and dedication to the sport inspires every young kid in this country to pick up the bat and dream of putting on the blue jersey one day," wrote Yuvraj in the letter.
