Lessons Learnt with the Greats

Yuvraj Singh on bouncing back from cancer, hitting sixes and the IPL


Listen Later

On this episode of Lessons Learnt with the Greats, I interview the 2011 World Cup winner, Yuvraj Singh. Yuvi has lived an extraordinary life so far. He was a T20 World Cup winner in 2007, he was crowned Player of the Tournament in India's 2011 World Cup victory at home and straight after had to fight for his life after being diagnosed with lung cancer.

Everyone who listens to this episode will be blown away by the insights that Yuvi so generously gives us, from a cricket perspective and most importantly, a life perspective.

I am sure everyone will absolutely love this episode.
