"Life won't stop if I'm not selected for World Cup Team" - Yuvraj Singh

Yuvraj Singh expresses his emotions - "Life won't stop if I'm not selected for World Cup Team". "There was a time when I coughed blood. But I put my country and the team in the front and kept on playing. The world cup was one of the biggest moments in my life," "There was enormous pressure but I suppose when you are an athlete you tend to think nothing can happen to you health wise, but these things can happen to anyone. Health is very important." "Before the World Cup, I had a couple of injuries, but I believed in myself, and kept playing. It is just a matter of one innings that can lift you confidence and can change the course of your game." "The half century against England was good for me. I scored 59 against them, but three back-to-back 50s gave me the momentum that I needed. There was desperation to win the world cup. Being the world champion is the highest honour for a cricketer." "I am glad I pushed myself into it. Fortunately or unfortunately that's what chose to do. "Even if my body was not allowing me to play, all I wanted was the World Cup. Winning the World Cup was the biggest high. "I have no regrets; I am lucky that I survived, but I missed cricket in the best years of my life. "Even as the body gives up, the mind doesn't; that is how any player overcomes his challenges."
