Virender Sehwag on Yuvraj & MSD tons : Old notes and the cancer beater

“Only old notes are out of circulation.Great knocks from @YUVSTRONG12 and @msdhoni,” Sehwag tweeted, referring to demonetisation.

Yuvraj and Dhoni put on 256 runs for the fourth wicket to lift India to 381 after having been reduced to 25/3 by the fifth over.

“This man has defeated Cancer. Today he only defeated the English bowlers. Everyone can learn not to give up. Proud of you @YUVSTRONG12 #INDvEng,” Sehwag further tweeted with a photograph of Yuvraj in hospital bed from the cancer-fighting days.

Yuvraj also recollected his fight against cancer at the post-match news conference.

“It feels great, it’s been a while since I got a hundred. I came back after recovering from cancer, the first two-three years were very hard. I had to work hard on my fitness and I was in and out of the team. I was not able to get a permanent spot,” said the southpaw whose previous ODI appearance was in December 2013.

“There was a time when I was wondering whether to continue or not to continue. I think a lot of people have helped me throughout this journey. Never giving up is my theory. So I never gave up, kept working hard. I knew time will change.”
