LONDON: Yuvraj Singh, recovering after his treatment in a US hospital for a rare germ cell cancer, got a morale-boosting visit by his idol Sachin Tendulkar. The two met for an hour at an apartment of Yuvraj’s friend on Wednesday. Yuvi, as he is fondly called by his fans, got a warm embrace from Sachin and the two posed for photographs.
Sachin also wished Yuvraj a speedy recovery and an early return to the game.
Yuvraj’s fondness for Tendulkar is well-documented and the left-hander dedicated his 2011 World Cup Player-of-the-Tournament to the senior batsman. (PTI)
