Yuvraj pays tribute to 'eternal captain' Ganguly on 48th B'day

The cricket fraternity took to social media to wish Ganguly on his special day and Yuvraj went a step further as he uploaded a video of them spending time together with the Indian team.

Yuvraj's tweet read: "Happy Birthday to the undisputed Dada of Indian cricket. You have always led from the front, showing us what it means to be a true leader. I have learnt a lot from you and hope to become to others what you are to me. You are our eternal captain. @SGanguly99 #HappyBirthdayDada."

In the short clip, Yuvraj also revealed a funny anecdote when a prank caused Ganguly to chase him and his former teammate Harbjahan Singh around the dressing room.

"I think when we got very familiar with you -- me, Viru (Virender Sehwag), Bhajji (Harbjahan Singh), Zak (Zaheer Khan), (Ashish) Nehra -- I think we played a lot of pranks on you," Yuvraj said in the video uploaded on his Twitter handle.

"When we were playing against Pakistan, me and Harbjahan created a fake newspaper on April Fool's Day and we wrote quotes for every player and attributed them to you.

"I remember you saying 'I will resign the next day if I have said these things about you guys'. I remember your face going red till Rahul Dravid told you the truth.

"I think you knew who could have done such a thing and that is why you chased me and Bhajji around. Sorry for that but love you for that," Yuvraj said.
