Life of a Pie-Chucker

6:54 AM Posted by iSachin 1 comment
Its been a turbulent time for sportsperson as whole where we got the news of relegation of Wrestling from the Olympics, testimony of Lance Armstrong accepting the dope while winning the 7 consecutive Tour de France races. In recent weeks the fixing of football matches in EPL and Valentine days news of Blade runner's shooting of his girlfriend(by mistake or otherwise).

Looks like nothing is going on right for the sports, but still there are some news which are still inspirational to all of us particularly to Indians. After all, these sport persons are also human and go through same emotional journey as we do. Some falters on there way, some overcome great odds and come out to be a champion. Yuvi is that kind of sport-person who is my favorite cricketer and this is a small reminder of 'Life of Pie-Chucker'.

As Cricket been the most favorite sport in sub-continent we are very passionate about it and were in the World cup. As you(few of you) who followed my blog, got to know about my favorite cricketers, teams and few knowledgeable words.


As freakishly my predictions came true when I suggested 9 names for man of the tournament from each country. Yovi topped the list for that coveted title of Man of the tournament.

In 2011, he was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor (stage-I) in his left lung and underwent chemotherapy treatment at the Cancer Research Institute in Boston, USA as well as Medicine Facilities in Indianapolis, Indiana.In March 2012, Yuvraj was discharged from hospital after completing the third and final cycle of chemotherapy and returned to India in April.


"To me he's a champion - - once a champion will always be a champion. I was really happy that he got the Man of the Series, Man of the tournament in the World Cup and then yes, he had health problems", said Tendulkar. 


In recent month we have seen some loss of form in Yuvi, but as knowledgeable cricket lovers we know that "Form is temporary and Class is permanent". So I know Yuvi surely will bounce back and will lead the India's batting department and many more victories.

Like me there were many who thought his drop from the Test team unjustified as many of our star batsmen were going to throgh lean patch and looked like Yuvi was made a scapegoat. I could be saying that because I am a Yuvi Fan but why not. He has given us so many memorable moments, there are more  

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar on Sunday, said "He feels axing Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan for the final Test against England was only part of the solution and that some others who also deserved to be replaced, survived. "
Future

As I see and many like me, see a once in a life-time talent in the yuvraj singh and hence always feels that he should be part of the any team. He greed and determination also helped to Yuvi to start his second innings in international cricket. After his successful battle with cancer, He also has set a great example for not just fellow sports persons but all those suffering from the disease. Also he is making his bit to help to those who are going through same ordeal. 


I hope he will again be the part of the Test team as he surely deserve the place in the team, as he is best left handed batsmen in India. Its my view and I could be partial but whats your view, Let me know in your comments below. I am also looking forward to his batting in this IPL, I am a Pune warrior supporter. Only thing which I will say at last is if any body can then it could be Yuvi so...

Yuvi you are the BEST....:)
