After vomiting blood during the 2011 ODI World Cup, Yuvi had said, even if I die India will win the World Cup.
Yuvraj Singh, on the basis of which Team India won the World Cup title after 28 years, was battling cancer during the league match itself. Yet Yuvraj Singh played the entire tournament and made India the champion. The date was 20 March 2011 and the venue M A Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. Batting first, India got off to a poor start. Sachin Tendulkar returned to the pavilion after scoring 2 runs in the very first over. Gautam Gambhir could also score only 22 runs off 26 balls. India's score became 51 runs at the loss of 2 wickets in 8.3 overs. Yuvraj Singh used to bat at number six in the tournament, but when Viru was ruled out due to injury, Yuvi decided to bat at number four. Yuvraj shared a century partnership of 122 runs for the third wicket with Virat Kohli. Yuvraj Singh was batting in a different style in that match. No bowler was able to leave his impact on him even if he wanted to.
Virat became the victim of Ravi Rampal after scoring 59 runs with the help of 5 fours, but Yuvraj remained standing. As Yuvraj was getting closer to the century, he started vomiting blood. This scene is very scary for any player. Crores of fans of the Indian team were also stunned to see this. When Yuvraj vomited blood, he thought it was because of the heat of Chennai. In an interview, Yuvraj told that during that match, he had prayed to God that whatever happens, even if I die, India will win the World Cup. Only a true patriot can do this work. Yuvraj played an unforgettable inning of 113 runs in that match with the help of 10 fours and 2 sixes. The Indian team scored 268 runs in 49.1 overs and in response West Indies could only manage 188 runs in 43 overs. Yuvi also took 2 wickets for 18 runs in 4 overs in bowling. Team India won the match by 80 runs. After vomiting blood, Yuvraj would not have come to bowl in the second innings if he wanted, but Yuvi realized that he is the biggest all-rounder of the team and in such a situation his role is important.
Yuvraj Singh was battling cancer, but he was not aware of it then. Yuvi said that even if I had known, I would not have gone anywhere without winning the World Cup. Yuvraj scored 362 runs in the 2011 World Cup on the basis of 4 half-centuries and 1 century. Apart from this, Yuvi also took 15 wickets while bowling. Yuvraj was named man of the tournament for his performance. Tragically, a player who did not care about his life for the sake of the country, was forced into forced retirement. In the year 2017, Yuvraj Singh played an inning of 150 runs in 127 balls in Cuttack ODI against England. After this, Yuvraj's bat spoke in the Champions Trophy, 2017 as well. He made Team India win by scoring 53 off 32 balls against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy. Yuvraj was man of the match in 2 of the 8 ODIs played after the Champions Trophy. Meanwhile, Yuvi got injured and the selectors asked him to pass the yo-yo test. He felt that it would be impossible for Yuvraj Singh to do so at the age of 36.
Yuvraj Singh fought for his life and passed the yo-yo test. He wanted to play 2019 ODI World Cup for Team India. The selectors did not expect Yuvraj to pass the yo-yo test. In such a situation, Yuvi was told to go and play domestic tournaments. Yuvraj Singh was deeply saddened by the way he was being treated and had announced his retirement. In an interview after retirement, Yuvi had said that he was never told that he would be dropped. I am pained by the manner in which this was done. You should sit and tell the player who has played 15-17 crickets. Virender Sehwag and Zaheer Khan were also not told. Whoever the player is, they should tell the truth. This is what happens in Indian cricket. This has always been happening. Yuvraj scored 8701 runs in 304 ODIs and 1177 runs in 58 T20s. Yuvi played the most important role in the 2007 T-20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup victory.
