Following this, netizens started to troll and criticize Yuvraj on social media: A user wrote, "Pic 1: Yuvi requesting to forget bad times of Stuart Broad (a Non-Indian) and appreciate his achievements. Pic 2: Yuvi requesting (indirectly) to forget an achievement of Ashwin an Axar (Indians) and criticize indian pitches."

Another user wrote, "Of course I am a fan of Yuvi and no body can deny he has been our hero.. But sometimes choice of words will pull everything down & I can see lot of ppl disappointed with this tweet. Could have avoided."
