ue Cricket Fans Must Read This Four years back in England, Ravindra Jadeja played a similar match losing innings to get India knocked out in the second T20 WC (lost the next WC too). One Champions Trophy win and some decent matches made most people forgot those two loses. And now people are abusing Yuvi like anything. He played the worst innings in his career, lost India the WC, agreed. But that doesnt give anyone the license to do this.. The man himself won India 3 WCs, being the dominant performer. I am not counting the first two. The third one - despite throwing up constantly during the matches, he gave his all and won India the WC. I would like to quote something his father said here.. With Yuvi, before the World Cup it [cancer] was detected and I knew that because he was vomiting blood. I told him we should get a check-up, because his grandpa went through the same thing. But he didn’t listen to me, because he heeded his mother’s advice. Then, he was selected to the World Cup team, and I told him to skip it. That time, the cancer was very small, like a marble. That time, he took me aside and he told me, this is our dream, and I’m to win this world cup for you and for Sachin [Tendulkar]. And if I die doing this, I just want to make sure I do it with the cup in my hands. And something Harsha said.. As India inched closer to a second World Cup victory, a giant tumour, eventually 15cm x 11cm x 13 cm was growing within Yuvraj and pressing against a lung and artery. He couldnt sleep, he was throwing up, he was constantly breathless, and he was winning Man- of-the-Match awards. The doctors told him afterwards that he could have died of a heart attack because the artery was being squeezed - and no one would have known he had cancer .. Were there pictures of him desperately trying to get up from under five or six bodies piled on him in celebration because he could no longer breathe? Do I remember that battle cry after the quarter-final against Australia in Ahmedabad? Why was he going on about wanting to do it for Sachin? For all those people out there abusing, mocking, trolling Yuvraj (and me), This man has already given me many many reasons to love and respect him till eternity. #vicky yuvi
