New Delhi(Agencies):Former India
batsman VVS Laxman has taken the initiative of paying tributes to his teammates
who have influenced him throughout his career. In the past few days, Laxman has
paid tributes to Sachin Tendulkar, Harbhajan Singh, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul
Dravid, Virender Sehwag, Anil Kumble and Javagal Srinath. On Sunday, Laxman
praised the former India middle-order batsman Yuvraj Singh.
Yuvraj Singh is remembered as one of the heroes of India’s
2011 World Cup-winning team. Yuvraj scored 362 runs and took 15 wickets in 9
games and was named Player of the Tournament. He was also a part of India’s 2007
T20I World Cup-winning team.
“That he registered
his highest ODI score after his recovery is tribute to his unwavering spirit,”
Laxman added.
Yuvraj was quick to reply to Laxman and wrote: “Great day to
share my story @VVSLaxman281 #CancerSurvivorsDay.”
Earlier, Yuvraj had written an emotional message to fans on
his official Instagram page in which he pledged to help all those battling with
cancer. “When life gives you a 2nd chance, it should be used for the greatest
good. Being a survivor, I know the pain & agony of fighting cancer. On
#CancerSurvivorsDay I once again pledge to take care of those who are battling
cancer. Don’t give up,” he wrote.
In his memorable career, Yuvraj played 304 ODIs, 58 T20Is,
and 40 Tests. He is fondly remembered for hitting six sixes in an over of
Stuart Broad in the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007. After his return to
international cricket following his cancer treatment, Yuvraj managed to
register his highest ODI score as he played a knock of 150 against England in
2017. The batsman had announced his retirement from international cricket last
year.
