Yuvraj Singh roasts Gautam Gambhir for trademark serious face in vacation photo, fans left in splits

Fresh off India's triumphant Champions Trophy campaign, where they clinched the title with a resounding victory over New Zealand in the final, Gautam Gambhir has taken a well-earned break from the game. With the IPL season in full swing, the Indian team's head coach has momentarily stepped away from the high-intensity cricketing action, choosing to spend quality time with his family.

Currently vacationing, Gambhir recently posted a picture alongside his wife and children. But what also caught everyone's attention was a playful jab from his former teammate Yuvraj Singh.

Never one to miss a chance for banter, Yuvraj playfully roasted Gambhir’s facial expressions with a witty comment in Hindi: “Tu Na Hasiyo” (You Don’t Smile). The remark caught the fans' attention.

This isn’t the first instance of Yuvraj poking fun at Gambhir’s signature seriousness. Back in 2020, when Gambhir posted a stern-faced picture with the caption, “Social distancing since 2003,” Yuvraj had quipped, “The only smile here is the emoji!”

Gambhir and Yuvraj's relationship goes a long way back, with both sharing the senior men's team's dressing room for a long period. The duo played key roles in India's 2007 T20 World Cup win, as well as the ODI World Cup victory four years later.

Gambhir set to travel with India A?

It was earlier reported that Gambhir could travel with the India A team for their tour to England, which serves as a precursor to the senior team's tour, where it plays five Tests. India endured a disappointing run under Gambhir and Rohit Sharma's duo in Test cricket, facing home series whitewash to New Zealand (0-3), as well as a 3-1 loss in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia.

India's white-ball run under the duo, however, remains terrific, with the side enjoying an invincible run in the Champions Trophy 2025.

India's tour of England will begin on June 20, with both sides facing off at Headingley. The tour will also kickstart India's fourth campaign at the World Test Championship.
