Captain Virat Kohli and batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar led the wishes on social media.
The 2011 World Cup hero was slammed by the media and fans after the 21-ball 11 against Sri Lanka in the final and the 38-year old said he felt like a villain who had killed someone.
The former Indian all-rounder, a cancer survivor, paid homage to the critically acclaimed artist who passed away on Wednesday.
Tendulkar felt that Sri Lanka were bowling two quality off-spinners and so keeping the left-right batting combination alive made sense.
Raina was one of the regulars in the Indian squad for much of Dhoni's reign as captain of the squad but his international appearances have dried up since Kohli took over.
The messages triggered an avalanche of criticism from social media users in India, given the frosty political ties between the two countries.
'The difference I find between the team of ours and now is during our time seniors were very disciplined. Social media was not there so no distraction also,' Yuvraj told India's limited overs vice-captain Rohit Sharma.
During an Instagram chat with ace Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah, Yuvraj took a dig at budding cricketers, who he felt try to be what they are not on social media.
Yuvraj also made a special request to his followers on social media to not make fun of Broad by bringing up the six sixes he hit off the latter's bowling at the 2007 ICC World T20 in Durban.
It was during one of the Instagram live sessions with Indian vice-captain Rohit Sharma that Yuvraj made the offensive comment about Chahal while talking about his regular social media posts.
