Comebacks are good. And they are great when the odds are really against you. Yuvraj Singh, the southpaw has his life innings scripted to a ‘celebrated poster boy who gets ruthlessly knocked down and then rises again’ story.
The Man of the tournament of the 2011 World Cup was soaring high on confidence. Then gravity hits him. And hits him hard. It not only clips his wings but nails him to his nemesis.
Struck by a rare germ cell cancer, he is pushed on the back foot and dreads on losing his cricket, forever. 15 month hiatus. The kit bag stays in the closet. Head loses hair to chemotherapy. Agility gives in to medication.
Time heals everything. But it’s the man’s spirit that gives him his strength of character. It’s the grit that reclaims his prestige, his life.
When we saw Yuvi take guard at the recent T20 encounter against New Zealand, it was not Yuvi, the batsman but Yuvi, the fighter we looked up to.
And this is why you got to do what you got to do. A phoenix rises from the ashes – of course it’s a cliché line. But the weight it exemplifies can only be felt, not spoken. Do it yourself, you’ll know.
Here are the Birla Sun Life Insurance TV commercials featuring Yuvraj. The campaign is inspired from their ambassador’s real life portraying his ups and downs.Quite motivational to watch.
