Yuvraj Singh Responds to Stuart Broad Throwing His Signed Jersey In The Dustbin: "Acceptable"

The 2007 T20 World Cup match between India and England is historically significant. Yuvraj Singh astonished the world by hitting six sixes in an over against Stuart Broad, becoming a part of T20I legend. While the Indian all-rounder became a global superstar, Broad's situation was not as simple. The England pacer struggled to recover from the setback before emerging as one of the country's finest modern bowlers. In a recent interview, Yuvraj said that Stuart's father, Chris Broad, had asked him to sign a shirt for his son. However, he then discovered that the England cricketer tossed the jersey away, which Yuvraj regarded as absolutely "acceptable".

"I just assumed he was inexperienced in T20s, which is understandable." He went on to become a famous as a fast bowler, taking over 600 Test wickets. He used that opportunity to gain authority. Yuvraj spoke with Michael Vaughan on The Overlap Cricket about Stuart Broad's father, Chris Broad, who served as the match referee for India-Australia. He approached me and said, 'You almost finished my son's career.' I told him, 'Sir, I have been hit for five sixes myself; I know how it feels.' He said, 'You need to autograph a jersey for Stuart.' So I scrawled on my India shirt, "I've been hit for five sixes." I understand how that feels.Yuvraj shared his experience with cancer and his doctor's diagnosis.It was difficult to accept. You're at the pinnacle of your profession, on top of a mountain, when you tumble into a ditch. I was in Delhi. We were going on a trip of the West Indies and England. Ganguly had retired, and my Test slot had recently opened. I'd been waiting for that spot for seven years. I responded, 'I don't care if I die; I need that area.' But I became increasingly ill.

"Dr. Nitesh Rohatgi told me, 'The tumour is located between your heart and lung. You can either go play cricket or suffer a heart attack. You have three to six months to survive if you do not receive chemotherapy. "That's when I realised I needed to think," Yuvraj explained.
