Yuvraj is a cancer survivor himself as he was diagnosed with it in the year 2011. His confidence and passion towards the game made him fight it and all-rounder made his international comeback in 2012 in a T20I against New Zealand. Even now Yuvi can be seen in several cancer awareness programmes and he is an inspiration for all the youngsters on this prospect.
It will be interesting to see if Yuvi can make it to the playing XI in the match today against Kolkata Knight Riders. He and Manoj Tiwary are playing musical chairs to cement the respective spots and Ashwin will be looking forward to getting the best from the team to make it to the playoffs.
