Yuvraj Singh, former India cricketer, took to Instagram on Wednesday to clear his views on his earlier tweet that angered some fans on Twitter. Yuvraj Singh had urged fans to support former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi's foundation in its fight against the coronavirus pandemic. "I really don't understand how a msg to help the most vulnerable people gets blown out of proportion! All I tried to achieve through that message was to help people in our own respective countries by providing healthcare, my intention was not to hurt anyone's feelings. I'm an Indian and I will always bleed blue and will always stand for humanity. Jai Hind," Yuvraj Singh wrote in his Instagram story.

Earlier, Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh faced the wrath of citizens  by backing former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi's foundation in its fight against the coronavirus pandemic. Harbhajan urged people to contribute in a video message, and called on other cricketers in the two countries to make similar appeals.While Afridi thanked the duo for their help their gesture did not go down too welll with Yuvraj Singh fans. With tension mounting between the two rival countries, India and Pakistan have not played a bilateral cricket series since 2012-2013.
