“I was dating an actress, I won’t name her; (She is) very good at the moment and very experienced. She was shooting in Adelaide. I told her, listen, let’s not meet for a bit because I’m on Australia tour, and need to focus. She followed me to Canberra in the bus. In two Tests, I didn’t get many runs. And I was like, ‘What are you doing here?’ And she was like, ‘I want to spend time with you,’” Club Prairie Fire podcast.
“So, I met her in the night and we began chatting. I told her you need to focus on your career and I need to focus on mine, because I’m on Australia tour and you know what that means. Anyway, we were leaving for Adelaide from Canberra and she packed my suitcase,” he added.
Further speaking ahead, the former cricketer said that he shared the hilarious moment when his girlfriend packed his bag along with his shoes which he had to wear the next day.
The next morning, Yuvraj noticed that his shoes were missing and when asked about his girlfriend, she said that she had packed them with others in the bag.
“In the morning, I was like ‘Where are my shoes’? She said, ‘I packed them.’ I asked, ‘How would I go on the bus?’ And she said, ‘Wear mine.’ She had these pink slip-ons,” he recalled.

Yuvraj wore the pink slip-on and had to keep the bag in front of the shoes to hide it from others.
When the guys on the bus noticed him in pink slip-ons, they all stood up and clapped for him. “I had to wear pink slip-ons to the airport until I bought flip-flops there,” said Yuvraj, as laughter echoed.
Some of the media speculated the actress to be Deepika Padukone as he had dated the actress around that period of time.
