About the book:
That day I cried like a baby not because I feared what cancer would do but because I didn't want the disease. I wanted my life to be normal, which it could not be. For the first time Yuvraj Singh tells the real story behind the 2011 World Cup when on the field triumph hid his increasingly puzzling health problems and worrying illnesses. In his debut book The Test of my life, he reveals how plagued with insomnia, coughing fits that left him vomiting blood and an inability to eat, he made a deal with God. On the night before the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup final, Yuvraj prayed for the World Cup in return for anything God wanted. In this book, he lays bare his fears, doubts and the lows he experienced during chemotherapy when he lost his energy, his appetite and his hair and his battle to find the will to survive. Poignant, personal and moving The Test of my life is about cancer and cricket; but more importantly, it is about the human will to fight adversity and triumph despite all odds.
