Video: Watch Yuvraj Singh responding to Shoaib Malik's challenge: does Michael Jackson's moonwalk, holds his crotch

Yuvraj Singh takes up Shoaib Malik's dance challenge - tweets this is how it is done

Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh responded to his Pakistani counterpart Shoaib Malik's challenge and gave a perfect demonstration of  Michale Jackson's moonwalk on late Saturday.

A video released by Yuvraj Singh shows him breaking into a short Michael Jackson jig; he moonwalks a few times  and freezes holding his crotch.

He also tweeted a comment, along with the video, telling Shoaib Malik: This is how it is done. I am always in the maidaan.

It all started last week when Indian tennis star Sania Mirza went to Sri Lanka to join her husband Shoaib Malik for Eid celebrations. As Pakistan had just won an ODI against Lanka, she joined the team in enacting a dubsmash dance video.

After the video went viral, especially in Pakistan, Yuvraj Singh, a  close friend of Sania Mirza, tweeted a comment saying Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik were great athletes but terrible dancers. Sania Mirza retorted immediately calling Yuvraj Singh motu and asking him to show his moves.

But after he failed to respond, on July 20, Shoaib Malik tweeted challenging Yuvraj Singh: come and play in the maidaan, he tweeted.

Saturday's moonwalk video was a response to that. Though it brings out the Punjabi flamboyance, Yuvraj Singh is well-known for, he has taken care not to tag Sania Mirza to his tweet - as many may find him holding his crotch offensive. That is respect for women, gentlemen, Yuvraj Singh style.

A popular celebrity guest in TV shows, Yuvraj Singh is known to hit the dance floor without any qualms. Bollywood choreographer and director Farah Khan had once commented that she was really impressed  with Yuvraj Singh's dance moves.
