Inspiring Journey Of Yuvraj Singh:
One of the most dangerous left-handed batters to ever represent India, Yuvraj was involved in several iconic and memorable wins for the Indian cricket team. Born in Chandigarh, Yuvraj soon made a name for himself in the domestic arena. He was also named player of the tournament during the 2000 Under-19 World Cup won by team India.
In 2002, Yuvi played one of the finest knocks under pressure against the England cricket team during a series decider at Lords to announce his arrival at the biggest stage. He smashed 69 off 63 balls and helped his side to a famous series victory on English soil. In the 2007 T20 World Cup, Yuvraj stitched history after he smashed Stuart Broad for six-sixes in an over and helped team India to win that game. Team India also went on to win that inaugural T20 World Cup.
However, Yuvraj Singh’s best performance came during the 2011 World Cup when he was also adjudged player of the tournament. He played a crucial role in India’s success in the tournament. Later, it came to know that the star batter was battling a cancerous tumor in his left lung while he was playing in the World Cup tournament. After getting diagnosed with the disease, he underwent chemotherapy in Boston and made a comeback to the Indian side.
