The Test of My Life from Cricket to Cancer and Back (Hardcover) Price: Rs.249

A personal account of Yuvraj Singh’s journey through cancer with the 2011 World Cup victory in the background‘

That day I cried like a baby not because I feared what cancer would do but because I didn’t want the disease. I wanted my life to be normal, which it could not be.’

For the first time Yuvraj Singh tells the real story behind the 2011 World Cup when on-the-field triumph hid his increasingly puzzling health problems and worrying illnesses. In his debut book  The test of my life, he reveals how—plagued with insomnia, coughing fits that left him vomiting blood, and an inability to eat—he made a deal with God. On the night before the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup final, Yuvraj prayed for the World Cup in return for anything God wanted. In this book, he lays bare his fears, doubts, and the lows he experienced during chemotherapy— when he lost his energy, his appetite, and his hair—and his battle to find the will to survive. Poignant, personal, and moving—The test of my life—is about cancer and cricket; but more importantly, it is about the human will to fight adversity and triumph despite all odds.

About the Author
Yuvraj Singh is an Indian cricketer and a cancer survivor. He was born in Chandigarh in 1981. He debuted for India in 2000 during the ICC Knock Out Trophy, still only nineteen. In 2011, he emerged as Player of the Tournament in the ICC World Cup, which his team won. That same year he was diagnosed with cancer. He returned to international cricket less than a year after his diagnosis. This is his first book.

Perfectly named : The test of my life : Yuvraj Singh

A extra ordinary saga of a World cup winner cancer patient ..truly inspirational...

few excrepts from the book ..

"Aggression is not anger,aggression comes from performance"
"Things just happen,you have to go with the flow,cope,handle it and move on"
"Sachin laid it down plainly:on the field do anything you have to.
Fall,break your bones,die,but do not let the ball through"
"He can take whatever he wants,take away my life,give me pain...God,just give us
the world cup"
"look,he said,your tumour may not be Sachin Tendulkar,but Virat kolhi it is.He can also be
dangerous and after all you do need to get him out"
"the lump was 15X13x11 cms "

For rest of the things read yourself :

Must have book which comes with Yuvraj's autograph.

YouWeCan

This is not a biography, nor a cricket memoir. This is a simple story, about a young cricketer, his journey to international cricket. We jump to WC 2011, where Yuvi was Man of the tournament, yes that is indeed a very big thing(for the non cricket people)The problems with health already existed, but the WC and cricket mean so much in India that Yuvi did not pay much heed. We are introduced to a very new side of this amazing all rounder. He bowls you out with this book and it is more of an emotional story of a man who fought cancer, won over it and now is devoting substantial time inspiring others. 190 pages of pure courage, determination, will and inspiration. A must read.

Extraordinary stage in Yuvraj's Life.

First of all i would say congratulations to Yuvraj that he won battle against Cancer. It was very happy that he came back to field and playing cricket. He is such a kind person that he started "YOUWECAN" foundation for cancer patients.

Coming to this book it was inspired and motivated how much the value of life is ?
What ever the problem might be we can face it with our courage and well desire support from friends and parents etc.
And Yuvraj did it and showed to the world.

Especially the last line of book in the last chapter was so precious and valuable. I wont mention it here please go through the book definitely everyone will know about the UV's Life on that Period.
