Battle with Cancer

Yuvraj Singh’s battle with cancer kept him out of the game for a while. His comeback after a 4-year break in the field, with a series against England in 2017 with Virat Kohli’s first as a full-time Captain.

Congratulations Prince @YUVSTRONG12 on a wonderful career. You were the best ever white ball cricketer India had. @BCCI should retire Number 12 jersey in the tribute to your career. Wish I could bat like you Champion #Yuvrajsinghretires #ThankYouYuvraj #ThankYouYuvi
