About Yuvi
Yuvraj Singh was born in Chandigarh to a well known Punjabi actor and former cricketer Yuvraj Singh and Shabnam Singh, with whom he lives after the separation of his parents.

Yuvraj was at the prime of his career when he was diagnosed with lung tumor in 2011 after a brilliant run in the World Cup that year. But he battled the disease with great resilience and grit and recovered from it after a prolonged treatment in the US. Not only did he beat the disease, but returned to his international cricket career with a bang in 2012.
