Yuvraj Singh who returned to India today was greeted by Team India mate Sachin Tendulkar on twitter.
Yuvraj Singh has returned to India this morning after receiving treatment for rare germ cell cancer in Boston that has been his toughest and biggest opponent for three months.
Sporting a black jacket and a red cap, the 30-year-old landed at the Indira Gandhi International Airport this morning and headed to his home in Gurgaon. His mother Shabnam Singh was there to receive him.
Yuvraj's fans mobbed the airport to catch a glimpse of their favorite cricketer and wish him a speedy recovery.
After taking three sessions of chemotherapy, Yuvraj had moved to London before returning home. He is recovering at a good pace.Soon after reports of Yuvraj's arrival broke, veteran actor Anupam Kher tweeted: "Welcome back Yuvraj Singh. You are our REAL Life Hero. Your journey and courage is amazingly inspiring. Waiting to see you on the field.:)"
The fan club of his IPL team, Pune Warriors India tweeted: "Warrior Yuvraj Singh ( @YUVSTRONG12 ) is back in India. Welcome back Yuvi."
On Sunday, Yuvraj had tweeted: "finally the day has come ! i am going home tomorrow ! cant wait , excited to see my friends and family ..see you india!! mera bharat mahan !"
The southpaw, however, is not expected to play for a few months and he's predicted to return to the cricket field closer to the end of 2012.
Yuvraj was discharged from the hospital last month. He is expected to announce his future plans and details about treatment received once he returns to the country.
Throughout his stay in Boston, the flamboyant cricketer was active on Twitter and thanked well-wishers for their prayers and support. His idol in Lance Armstrong wrote to him on Thursday, urging him to forget the past and live strong.
Recently, Yuvraj also met Sachin Tendulkar in London who had gone there to get a check up on a toe injury.
Yuvraj has been out of action since November when he last played a Test against the West Indies. However his last ODI was the World Cup final against Sri Lanka on April 2, 2011.
His fans are eagerly waiting to see him return to the field, where he really belongs, completely fit.
