A Candid Chat: Yuvraj Singh & Harbhajan Singh on Cricket, Cancer, and Comebacks
Yuvraj Singh: Bhajji, it’s been ages! How are you holding up?
Harbhajan Singh: Yuvi pa, I’m good yaar. Just enjoying the retired life. Although, missing those locker room laughs and on-field battles, you know? How about you?
Yuvraj Singh: Oh man, I hear you. Life post-cricket is a different game altogether. But hey, it’s giving me time to focus on things I care about, like my foundation for cancer patients. And of course, the occasional nostalgia trips back to our glory days!
Harbhajan Singh: (Laughs) Remember 2007? The T20 World Cup? Your six sixes against Stuart Broad? I think I jumped higher than you that night!
Yuvraj Singh: (Grinning) How could I forget! That was insane. But seriously, those moments are what made it all worthwhile. Speaking of which, how did you cope with retirement? Any tips for a fellow retiree?
Harbhajan Singh: Honestly, it was tough at first. But spending more time with the family and little Hinaya kept me grounded. You know, they’re the reason behind my smile these days.
Yuvraj Singh: That’s beautiful, Bhajji. For me, it was like stepping into a parallel universe. But working on the ‘YouWeCan’ Foundation gave me a new purpose. Helping others fight cancer, it’s deeply fulfilling.
Harbhajan Singh: Hats off to you for that, Yuvi. Your fight and comeback after cancer is an inspiration. Remember, the whole team was rooting for you after your return in 2012.
Yuvraj Singh: Thanks, brother. It was the toughest battle of my life, no doubt. But the support I received from friends like you and fans was overwhelming. It made me stronger.
Harbhajan Singh: I believe every setback has a comeback story. We both had our share of highs and lows, but look where we are now! Proud of you, mate.
Yuvraj Singh: Right back at you, Bhajji! Here’s to our journey, both on and off the field. We’ve got new innings ahead, and I’m excited to see what they bring. Cheers to that!
Harbhajan Singh: Absolutely! To new beginnings and everlasting friendships! Cheers, Yuvi!
And with that toast of camaraderie, the duo continues to reminisce about the good old days and look forward to the future, filled with optimism and passion. Stay tuned for more such heartwarming discussions with your favourite cricket stars!
