Former Indian all-rounder, Yuvraj Singh took to Twitter to wish actor Sanjay Dutt a “speedy recovery” as the actor has decided to take “a short break from work for some medical treatment.” Dutt made this announcement on his official Twitter account, one day after being discharged from Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital where he was admitted after he complained about some discomfort in the chest.
Recent reports have suggested that Dutt has been suffering from Lung cancer and he has reached the third stage of the disease. Yuvraj is a cancer survivor – he defeated the disease in 2012 and after that, he managed to make a comeback to international cricket. He retired from all forms of cricket in 2019.

Tweeting about the same, Yuvraj wrote: “You are, have and always will be a fighter @duttsanjay. I know the pain it causes but I also know you are strong and will see this tough phase through. My prayers and best wishes for your speedy recovery.”

On August 8, Dutt informed on August 8 that his COVID-19 report had returned negative and hoped that with “the help & care of the doctors, nurses & staff at Lilavati hospital” he would be home “in a day or two.” On the other hand, Yuvraj’s bout with cancer is often retold as one of the most inspirational stories in the history of the sport. He moved to the US for treatment and after recovering he returned to play for India in 2013.

However, due to poor forms, the southpaw was dropped from the team in 2014 but on the back of runs in domestic cricket, he made comebacks in 2016 and 2017 and was part of the India squad that played the ICC Champions Trophy 2017. However, his low performances in that tournament and the tour to the Caribbean that followed saw Yuvraj getting dropped again and this time for all.
After being excluded from the squad for the 2019 Men’s World Cup, Yuvraj decided to hang his boots from international cricket and announced his retirement in June 2019.
