Thousands of well-wishers including team-mates and politicians sent messages of support on Monday to India's World Cup-winning all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, who has been diagnosed with cancer. Yuvraj, 30, is being treated for lung cancer in Boston in the United States. He was diagnosed in October and the disease is in its early stages, his physiotherapist announced Sunday.
Jatin Choudhary said the rehabilitation would be complete by the end of April and Yuvraj would be fit to play in May. "Wish Yuvraj a speedy recovery! Asking officials to find the quantum and nature of help required. Government should and will help him," Indian Sports Minister Ajay Maken wrote on Twitter.
India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh wrote on the micro-blogging site that "whatever Yuvraj is dealing with, we need to support him, leave him alone and allow him to recover soon". India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni said he did not know about the illness as he has not been in touch with Yuvraj, but he told the Press Trust of India news agency: "He is a pleasure to have in the side."
