Yuvraj Singh recently attended the Wimbledon finals with Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. The trio had wrapped themselves in suits and wore sunglasses as they attended the event. When a Wimbledon interviewer asked him, "From the Indian cricket team, who do you think could be a good tennis player?" Yuvraj gave a hilariously candid and confident response, pointing out Kohli's overly confident sports persona, "I wouldn't pick Virat because he thinks he's really good, but he's not! He's the greatest in cricket for sure in this era, but tennis, I'm better than him.”
He jokingly added that he is the absolute best tennis player in the Indian cricket team and said,"Actually, they're all rubbish, I'm the best”. He mentioned he would probably pick Sachin Tendulkar because he has seen him play and knows he hits the ball really well. The former India all-rounder revealed that his absolute dream doubles tennis partner would be tennis legend Sania Mirza, jokingly complaining that every time he asks her to play a match with him, she refuses. Yuvraj shared that he actually used to play and compete in tennis as a young kid until his father (Yograj Singh) stepped in one day and told him, "Only cricket.”
Striking up a popular mentor-student dynamic, Yuvraj jokingly referred to Abhishek as "Boss Baby" during their Wimbledon media tour. Yuvraj compared the aggressive, fearless batting style of India’s next-gen cricketers directly to the elite athletic mindsets of modern tennis champions. The teenage batting sensation made his first-ever live Grand Slam final appearance.
In a humorous behind-the-scenes detail, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi admitted he didn't plan an outfit, so his senior teammate Abhishek Sharma hurriedly helped him arrange a sharp black blazer and tie at the last minute to meet the entry requirements. Vaibhav used the moment to openly root for Novak Djokovic as his favorite player.
Indian cricketers enjoy Centre Court spectacle as Jannik Sinner defends Wimbledon title
Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson fulfilled a lifelong childhood dream by attending the Wimbledon Men's Singles Final at Centre Court. Stepping out right after India's bilateral series in England, Samson turned heads in a tailored beige blazer, modern sunglasses, and a designer watch, perfectly executing British courtside etiquette. He watched the summit clash alongside teammates Abhishek Sharma, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, and veteran Yuvraj Singh.
In interviews at SW19, Samson revealed a deep passion for tennis, noting that his family routinely watched Grand Slams together when he was young. The T20 World Cup winner highly praised Novak Djokovic's elite mental fortitude and strict work ethic, calling it an invaluable template and learning source for professional athletes worldwide.
The star-studded group attended the 2026 Wimbledon Gentlemen’s Singles Final on Centre Court, witnessing an epic generational clash where world number one Jannik Sinner defended his title against second seed Alexander Zverev. Fresh off their French Open triumph, Zverev opened the high-intensity match with immense confidence, narrowly snatching a grueling first-set tiebreak.
However, the resilient Italian star gradually mounted a fierce comeback. Sinner dominated the baseline exchanges, locked down his supreme opening serve, and capitalized on a costly third-set fall by Zverev to shift the entire momentum. After a bruising battle lasting three hours and 46 minutes, Sinner wrapped up a majestic 6–7(7), 7–6(2), 6–3, 6–4 victory to secure his fifth career major championship.
