It was unbearable to see how Yuvraj suffered, says mother Shabnam
MUMBAI: Just a few weeks after winning the World Cup, its man of the tournament - Yuvraj Singh - was diagnosed with 'lung cancer'.
"He was coughing and vomiting all through the tournament. But we thought it was just the stress, and his desire to excel on the biggest stage... so we ignored it," his mother Shabnam Singh told TOI in an exclusive chat.
"After all the excitement and the celebrations, we went for medical advice when the problem persisted," she revealed. "To our horror, we found a golf-ball sized lump over his left lung," she said.
The entire family was incredulous, to begin with. "We were devastated. We just couldn't accept it. He has had bouts of cough for a long time; but we were told it was common allergy... to dust and pollution."
Yuvraj Singh, a known fighter, was indignant though. "I didn't believe the reports," he said. "I felt fine, and deep inside, I felt good too," he said, almost embarrassed to go into the painful details.
For over three months or so, as he went for one scan after another, and one test after another, he all but looked death in the eye every day. He had a smile on his face, though, and the faith instilled by his guruji, in his heart.
"We were all worried. But he would only keep telling us one thing. 'I am a brave boy. I will come out of this,'" his mother said.

Still have 5-6 years of cricket left in me: Harbhajan
Out-of-favour off-spinner Harbhajan Singh feels that he still has another 5-6 years of cricket left in him.
Although he praised the young spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Pragyan Ojha who are doing well currently, the fiesty off-spinner said he never shies away from
competition.
"I do have another 5-6 years of cricket in me. Picture abhi baaki hai (The movie is yet to get over). I think I can still contribute to the side for some time," Harbhajan insisted.
"Competition is good for the side, I am not afraid of competition. If I was afraid of competition, I wouldn't have played international cricket for 13 years. If there is no competition, the level of the game will not rise," he said.
Following his dismal performance in the West Indies and the Lord's Test in England earlier this summer, Harbhajan has been out of the Indian team since the ODI series at home against the Englishmen.
However, Harbhajan was optimistic about his selection for the upcoming tour Down Under and hinted that his record against Australia would be hard for the selectors to ignore.
"My job is to play cricket and perform and not worry about selection, it's the selectors' job," he told at a programme in News24.
"I enjoy playing against Australia. They are very aggressive and we need to be aggressive to counter them or they will start dominating you. I still remember the famous series in 2001 where I took 32 wickets in 3 Tests and the Australian media gave me the name turbanator."
