News from Mid-day...Yuvraj and Ameesha??

Mumbai: Cricketer Yuvraj Singh gave Ameesha Patel special tickets to the World Cup finals between India and Sri Lanka at Wankhede stadium.

With that one stroke, the all-rounder must've broken several hearts. That said, given the long line of B-Town beauties on Yuvi's arm, is Ameesha the latest maiden to be bowled over? It sure seems to be.

Ameesha confirms, "Yuvi is a good friend and he invited me." And if there was any doubt about her special dosti with the cricketer, the words of gushing praise give a clear indication.

"Yuvi bowled, fielded and batted superbly on Saturday. When he almost got run out I screamed the loudest! Saif (Ali Khan) and Ranbir (Kapoor), who were in the same box, looked at me as if I was mad because I was making them so nervous," Ameesha said.

The actress sat in the specially reserved ICC Hospitality Box near the pavilion says, "People kept asking me to quiet down as I was the most boisterous. I kept shouting for Yuvi to play stably."

She wanted to meet Yuvraj after the end of play, but the crowds were hysterical by then. "It took me three hours to get home," she says.
