Yuvraj reaches in India today

Chandigarh, April 8
As soon as the news of Yuvraj Singh’s return spread here today, fans commenced preparations for welcoming him. He had been under treatment for germ-cell cancer in his lungs.

The cricketer was expecting his visit the city soon after landing in New Delhi around 9:45 am tomorrow following the completion of his chemotherapy sessions in London.

His local manager RS Kapoor said Yuvraj would come to the city immediately after landing at the airport. He added that he did not have the plans of the cricketer at the moment.

“Finally the day has come! I am going home tomorrow! Can’t wait, excited to see my friends and family. See you India. Mera Bharat mahan,” Yuvraj wrote on his Twitter account last afternoon.

“We are looking ahead to see him back in action. We have got the information on Twitter. We are eagerly awaiting his visit to the city. We plan to welcome him by organising a function and want him to share his experiences,” said the member of an NGO.

Yuvraj’s father Yograj Singh said, “Yuvi is expected to arrive in India tomorrow. I am happy that he is coming back. I am busy shooting for a movie till April 30 and hopefully, will meet him soon.”

Yuvraj had underwent three chemotherapy sessions after being diagnosed with the disease. He had been out of action for this edition of the Indian Premier League.

He was expected to stay away from the game till proper recovery. Sources close to him said he would visit the city on April 12 for the first match of the Kings XI Punjab on their home ground.

Kapoor maintained that there was about half-a-chances of Yuvraj’s visit to the city. “He is returning to India tomorrow, but will stay at Gurgaon for at least a week to recover,” he added.

“He is excited to come here and hopefully, will come here soon to thank his well-wishers. I am not sure about his visit for the first match,” he added.
