Yubi -- The Ever Youth :)

                                                                               
"He's strong, he's indomitable and he's a true victor in life. Cricketer Yuvraj Singh, who has battled a dreaded disease like cancer, will now take his story to the world."
Yuvraj Singh or famously known as Yuvi has become the backbone of Indian Middle order. He became an overnight star when at the 2007 World Twenty20 against England he hit six sixes in a single over of Stuart Broad, which was a rare feat in international cricket.
Yuvraj Singh is a cricketer from Chandigarh in India. He was born on 12 December 1981 in Chandigarh, India. He is the son of former cricketer and Punjabi movie star Yograj Singh.
Yuvraj's journey will be shown through three episodes (one hour each) on Colors TV, titledZindagi Abhi Baaki Hai. Speaking about his experiences and the painful struggle to overcome it, Yuvraj (Yuvi as he's fondly called) speaks up, "The battle against cancer has made me strong. It's like winning a war! When I was diagnosed, I was told by doctors my kidney, liver and other organs could fail. It was tough. I didn't know if I could save my life. But I was positive and because of that the doctor told me that I would be a man who would never have cancer. Cricket is my life. Before the cancer, I was happy go lucky. I used to think about my career and worry about the future. But post it, my thinking has completely changed. I'm happy to eat and breathe normally. I'm happy to have my life back".
Further sharing, "There were times when chemo would eat my body but I told myself that I have the strength and courage to win and come out stronger. I thought I'd go back and play for India". And Yuvi's dream will finally come true on 8th September 2012, as he steps into the fields and makes his comeback to international cricket.
Yuvraj Singh’s story can be compared with those of medieval warriors who after a setback made a historic comeback to conquer.
Yuvraj, who took a nine months sabbatical from the game, made a comeback to the international cricket during last T20 game against New Zealand. He was good in the match but then was far from the Yuvraj that he always was. He then played in the T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka and put up a decent all-round performance in the tournament.
His next challenge was to make it to the Test squad, something which looked improbable at that point of his career.He made a dream comeback to the first class arena and scored a double century to announce his comeback to the longer version of the game. 
He was selected into the squad for England series due to his fabulous innings. However critics still did not trust his ability and raised questions on his fitness.But he shut everyone with his brilliant half-century in the first innings of the first Test and left no chance for anyone to attribute his selection to emotional factors.

He was not in his usual self in the initial phase of his innings but then once he got his eyes on the ball, his he was immaculate with his stroke making.
He middled his shots and looked a dominant force. He was looking well set for a century but then holed on in deep while trying to hit a full toss delivery by Samit Patel out of the ground.

He scored 74 off 151 deliveries, including six fours and two sixes. Yuvi could not score a century but then he proved that he has matured over the last one year and the player who always found it hard to cement his spot in the side, has finally made huge statement that he belongs to his format of the game.

His innings left a huge impact and now he can stake his claim in the squad for the longer version of the game entirely based on merit.
