Yuvraj Singh's career and the journey has always been a big inspiration to many, after starting his career with a high note, Yuvi ended up winning the World Cup 2011. However, his journey and life turned into a shocking event when he found battling himself with a serious disease like Cancer. Then his journey of coming back from Cancer to the cricket ground became an inspiration to the whole India.
