As we all know Yuvi is suffering from cancer and undergoing chemo in Boston. As per the docs, no operation is needed at this time and he is out for six months. Our prayers are with him to recover soon and come back to play. India needs him as he did a great job in the recent WC.

It is a tragedy to hear someone that young being stricken by cancer. Yuvi was the great catalyst behind India winning the 2nd world cup.

Wishing yuvi the strength and determination to fight his greatest battle ever.

Jai Hind

Another celebrity Super Star Rajnikanth also had an illness and its reporting was completely in the family members' control. Nothing more than necessary was known to the general public. Yuvi's doctor with steth round their neck were found to be on the national news channels fora long press conference, even as they were making the usual noises like "media should respect Yuvi's privcacy etc, etc". One was not sure whether it was for explaining Yuvi's condition or getting advertisement for themselves. All required was a one line statement for less than half a minute for cricket fans. There was also this frequent advertisement by Birla Sunlife Life Insurance featuring Yuvraj Singh which also does not seem to be in good taste
How can everything be considered a money making opportunity?

Yuvraj's doctor a quack?
The unusually long presence in front of TV cameras to divulge details about yuvraj illness did make one feel that it was not professional. May be true as per the following news item.

Physio in limelight turns out to be a µquack¶

Mail Today, Feb 8th - Jatin Chaudhry, the man who announced to media on Sunday that cricketer Yuvraj Singh is battling with cancer, is himself in trouble. He doesn¶t hold any recognised degree in medicine, physiotherapy or any branch of Indian systems of medicine, according to the Delhi Medical Council (DMC) records.
He was under the scanner of the medical regulatory body in June 2009 following
a complaint by a patient that a self-styled doctor was practicing allopathic
medicine in Haqeeqat Nagar near Kingsway Camp. The council asked the Chief
District Medical Officer to raid Chaudhry's clinic and file a report.
Subsequently, he was summoned to appear before the council along with all his
medical certificates. Instead, Chaudhry sent a letter through his lawyer stating that he was a physiotherapist to several sports stars including Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh
and Sania Mirza and, therefore, had no time to appear in person, recalled Dr
Anil Bansal, Chairman of DMC¶s anti-quackery cell.
Along with the letter, he attached copies of two of his 'medical' degrees. One of
them was issued by a body called the 'Indian Board of Alternative Medicine' and
was dated February 6, 2007.
The second one dated September 2, 2009, was issued by the Kerala-based All India Association of Physiotherapists. "Both are not medical degrees and do not allow anyone to use prefix Dr, which he has been doing," said Bansal.
Chaudhry's website claims he is a PhD in sports medicine from New Age International University, Italy, besides being 'Masters in Physiotherapy' (no institute mentioned) and a 'practitioner of acupuncture'. The services being offered include
infectious diseases, cardiovascular, gynaecological and neurological disorders.
