Indian cricket star Yuvraj Singh (30) has been diagnosed with lung cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy at the Cancer Research Institute in Boston.
Yuvraj’s physiotherapist Dr Jatin Chaudhary confirmed the news, “It is a rare tumour and is cancerous but it has been detected in stage one itself. Doctors had to decide whether to continue medication or go for chemotherapy but since parts of the tumour are just above the artery of his heart, there was a danger that while running it could burst. But it is 100 per cent curable.” “Thankfully no surgery is required, he is already a lot better than what he was and can’t wait to be back on the cricket field,” he added.
In his tweet sports minister Ajay Maken promised help to Yuvraj, “Wish Yuvraj a speedy recovery! Asking officials to find the quantum and nature of help required. Government should & will help him.”
Yuvraj who helped India to regain World Cup, was declared Player of the Tournament in the 2011 World Cup with 362 runs, 15 wickets and four Man-of-the-Match honor.
So far Yuvraj Singh has played 37 Tests, scoring 1775 runs at an average of 34.80. He has played 274-match ODI matches, scoring 8051 runs at an average of 37.62. Also Yuvraj scored 567 runs in 23 Twenty20s at an average of 31.50.
As per family sources the left-handed batsman would be fit by April and resume cricket in May.
