Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar has unveiled ace cricketer Yuvraj Singh’s memoirs, “The Test of My Life”, which is priced at Rs 399 and co-authored by Nishant Arora and Sharda Ugra. The book talks about the agony and trauma Yuvraj went through during his fight against cancer. At the same time, it shows his fighting spirit, which helped him to recover from the worst crisis in his life.
While launching the book, Tendulkar said, “I’ve always treated Yuvraj like a young brother. When I first heard of Yuvraj suffering from cancer, I was shocked. But I knew he was a fighter. When I visited him in London and we went out for dinner, I remember telling my wife, I hope I don’t breakdown in front of Yuvraj. During that time, I had mixed emotions.”

Sachin hailed Yuvraj as the most guiding force behind India’s 2011 World Cup victory. Yuvraj revealed that since the World Cup was missing from Sachin’s collection, it was a reason to win the Cup for him. Yuvi received full support from his mother Shabnam throughout the traumatic period.
Along with Sachin Tendulkar, many other cricketers, including MS Dhoni, Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh and Virat Kohli were also present during the book launch.
