A1.3. Read the passage and answer the questions that follow
WELCOME BACK YUVI ....!
Indian all-rounder and World Cup hero Yuvraj Singh will don national colours for the first time
since battling cancer when a two-match Twenty20 series against New Zealand starts on
Saturday. The 30-year-old left-hander underwent chemotherapy in the United States in March
and April to treat a rare germ-cell tumour between his lungs which was diagnosed late last
year.
Yuvraj, who was ‘Man of the Tournament’ in India's World Cup triumph last year, has not
played competitive cricket since two home Tests against the West Indies last November. But
the selectors recalled him as soon as he was declared fit by doctors at the National Cricket
Academy in Bangalore where he had begun light training in July.
In less than 36 hours from now, Yuvraj Singh will complete an incredible journey- that of having
recovered from cancer and walking back on the field as an Indian cricketer. How many runs he
scores is a different matter, it is his return to the field that makes him a winner.
On Saturday, Yuvraj will play his first international match after being diagnosed with cancer.
And this journey was not an easy one. This was one test that took a lot out of him. "There was
a lot of tension. There were negative thoughts in my mind. I used to cry a lot," Yuvraj
reminisces.
But all this while his teammates on the cricket pitch played the perfect mates off the field as
well. “One day Anil Kumble came to meet me in Boston. He closed my laptop and said 'stop
watching cricket and focus on your health'," Yuvraj said.
The left-hander did what he knows best - fought back! And soon the hero was back in India. It
was a slow recovery- from stepping into the gym to stepping into the nets.
On Saturday, the journey will reach its most important phase. Yuvraj will be back in the India
shirt, playing a T20 International against New Zealand. And he can't wait for the match to
begin. He landed in Vizag yesterday and tweeted: "Just landed in lovely Vizag!! Beautiful scenic
view before landing! Hope it doesn't rain tom and day after!! Cause I just can't wait anymore."
And he had wishes pouring from all corners. Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan wished his
friend good luck. He said, "I will repeat what Yuvraj said. It doesn't matter if he scores one run
or 20 runs or 200 runs. I wish he again hits six sixes. Whatever, he said, he has won and he
actually has won. I would watch the match just because Yuvraj will be playing it." Olympic
silver-medalist MC Mary Kom also wished the southpaw, who won India U-19 World Cup in
2000, T20 World Cup in 2007 and ICC World Cup in 2011."I wish all the best in the future to Yuvraj," Mary said. With the nation behind him, I expect the
all-rounder to perform as good in his second innings as the first if not better.
