World Cup-winning former India player Yuvraj Singh wished Usain Bolt on his 35th birthday. Yuvraj, along with Bolt, posted a photo on Twitter with a hilarious caption, referring to the Jamaican sprinter as the “King of Speed”. He wrote: “Happy birthday to the king of speed @usainbolt! How come the light catch up with you? #Legend.” The photo shows Bolt flexing his muscles as he laughs with Yuvraj who seems a little impressed with the Jamaican’s biceps.
