1. Yuvraj Singh:
With 362 runs, 15 wickets and the Player of the Tournament award, life couldn’t have been any better on the cricket pitch. However, far from the public glare, Yuvraj suffered and battled an unknown illness. He often ran out of breath, threw up and spent sleepless nights.
After undergoing a fatiguing chemotherapy programme in the USA, Yuvraj returned to international cricket after several months and staged a heroic comeback against New Zealand in a T20 match in 2012.
He remained in the playing eleven for about a year before running out of favour with the selectors owing to poor form. However, Yuvraj Singh’s life is a terrific story. The flamboyant cricketer has always been the prince of Indian Cricket and will remain to be.
