Yuvraj Singh played really well in the 2011 World Cup tournament, where he was named the player of the series.
Team India’s victory at the 2011 World Cup is remembered for Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s six title wins as well as the 91-run knock that Gautam Gambhir played at the top after Virender Singh Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar lost their wickets early in the match. However, there were other top contributors to the victory as well, and one of them was Yuvraj Singh. The all-rounder played a very important role in India’s World Cup-winning journey despite being sick at that time. It was only later found out that Yuvraj Singh was suffering from cancer.
Sharing the stories from 2011 world cup format spinner Harbhajan Singh about how Yuvraj Singh would keep coughing in the middle of the page only to find out later that he is suffering from cancer
Harbhajan said on Star Sports that Yuvraj was unwell, and he used to face anxiety before matches. Even while batting, he used to cough and sometimes puke. I used to ask him, “Why do you cough so much?” “Look at your age and what are you doing!” But we didn’t know what he was going through, and he played in the World Cup during that illness.
He further revealed that, “Later he found out those were signs of cancer.” But then we were making fun of him as we were not aware of the situation, but hats off to the champion.”
The former spinner feels India would not have gone all the way in the World Cup if they didn’t have Yuvraj Singh in their team.
Concluding his statement, Bhaji said that not once but twice he helped us during the World Cup, and I feel India wouldn’t have won the World Cup in 2011 if Yuvraj Singh wasn’t there. A player like Yuvraj Singh was not there in the past or now, as they are one of a kind.
