4 most courageous acts in cricket

#1 When Yuvraj Singh vomited blood but won the match for India

Yuvraj Singh's performances during 2011 WC were inspiring

'When the going gets tough, the tough get going' - a phrase that fits perfectly for one of the most outstanding all-rounders of all-time Yuvraj Singh. The motivating story of Yuvraj Singh's fight with cancer and then making a comeback into the international side is worthy of a salute.

Just prior to the group match against West Indies in the 2011 World Cup, Yuvraj Singh started vomiting blood, had a chronic cough problem and was not able to eat. In spite of being advised to rest for the match, the lion-hearted Yuvraj Singh decided to continue and managed to score a match-winning century. Apart from scoring 113 runs he also picked up 2 wickets and was adjudged the Man-of-the-Match for his performance.

The health problems continued to intensify but Yuvraj refused to be bogged down by it. He continued to give scintillating performances with the bat and ball throughout the tournament guiding India to a historic World Cup win.
