Happy New Year all of that to all the readers!!
Talking of years, years will come and go, but there are people who take your breath away with the persona that they exude!
Yuvraj Singh, the wonderboy of Indian cricket (along with a certain Virender Sehwag) in the 2000s, just helped us clock back to those glorious years, a few nights ago.
Along with another gem who goes by the name of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the two made us relive our age, making us believe we all were a decade younger, living again in those times!
What a knock by both Yuvraj and Dhoni, to first rescue India and then to helm us onto a commanding position, thanks to their knocks.
Two tributes to Yuvraj that come straight to my mind here:
I read this somewhere and it seemed so apt and worth sharing:
We all love Sachin for his perfection.
We adulate Dravid for his temperament.
We salute Ganguly for his self-belief.
We admire Laxman for his timing.
We idolize Dhoni for his coolness.
But when it comes to Yuvraj, what catches the eye the most through his game and strokes, is why we fell in love with the game (batting in particular through him) in the first place!
Just the clean hitting and that awesome sound of ball being met by the center of the center of the bat!
And ofcourse, that effortless and poetic followthrough, ensuring that once he hits the ball, it stays hit.
I will always remember something that he said.
When, at the peak of his powers, straight after being Man of the Series in the winning World Cup team of 2011, he was diagnosed with cancer, someone asked him: why only you?
Doesn't the thought cross your mind, why did it have to happen to me? Now? Only me? Why?
I will never forget the words with which the man replied: When I won the World Cup as an Under 19, I never asked God why did you select only me?
When I got into the Indian team I never asked God why only me?
When I hit 6 sixes, I never asked when only me?
When I won the World Cup and the Man of the Series, I never asked Him why only me?
So why now?
:)
Amazing, wonderful, and heart warming.
That is why Yuvraj remains the greatest of comeback of stories and that is why his success is appreciated and enjoyed by not just him but many more, all over!
Thanks a ton Yuvi, for making your success and comebacks an inspiration to always be steadfast, courageous and keep striving tirelessly.
Each success you achieve is a botox shot for everyone to learn from you, to rise like a phoenix from every disaster, every failure, much stronger and better, every time!
Thank Yuvi, for teaching that we all can embrace any success even after any failure(s)!
You and we always can!
To the perennial emotional favorite of many if not all, dear Yuvi, YOU WE INDEED CAN :)
