To Attend Harbhajan Singh's Reception, Yuvraj Singh Skips Ranji Trophy Tie
Harbhajan Singh's close buddy Yuvraj Singh has been in a good form this season and had recently scored 187 in Punjab's drawn Ranji Trophy game against Gujarat.
Yuvraj Singh is not taking part in Punjab's Ranji Trophy match against Andhra Pradesh to attend his friend and state captain Harbhajan Singh's wedding reception. Harbhajan tied the knot with long-time girlfriend Geeta Basra in Jalandhar on Thursday. The reception will take place in New Delhi on November 1.
Yuvraj also wished the newly-wedded couple with a hilarious tweet. Now that he is a married man, Yuvraj advised Harbhajan not to bowl the "doosra" now.
Can't bowl the dusra now buddy Stick to one line ??! Wish @harbhajan_singh and @Geeta_Basra a happy life together love u both ????????????????

Yuvraj has been in top form and had recently scored 187 against Gujarat in a drawn Ranji match in Mohali. While Harbhajan was recently recalled to India's limited-overs teams, the BCCI selectors have not been kind to 2011 World Cup hero Yuvraj, who played his last match for India during the World T20 final against Sri Lanka in April 2014.
In Yuvraj's absence, Gurkeerat Mann will lead Punjab. They have lost one match while two were drawn.
The high-profile Delhi reception could see Prime Minister Narendra Modi blessing Harbhajan and Geeta.
Apart from his Team India teammates like Yuvraj and Virat Kohli, Bollywood celebrities like Amitabh Bachhan, Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra are also likely to attend the party.
Yuvraj and Harbhajan have been friends since the days when they played against each other during inter-district junior tournaments. The two were also key to India's 2007 World Twenty20 and 2011 World Cup triumphs.
