Emotional Yuvraj happy to receive Arjuna Award


This has been a tough year for Yuvi. So when the first question was fired at him by a group of mediamen and it was on cancer, Yuvraj was a bit flustered.


"That’s a thing of the past, let’s talk about these awards and the achievements of the athletes from the London Olympics,” he shot back. Flanked by friends and mother Shabnam, Yuvraj was emotional.


When you look at 18-year-old archer Deepika Kumari winning the Arjuna Award, you sense that for Yuvraj, it has been a long time coming. "I know I came close to nominations before and am very happy now,” said the 2011 World Cup player of the tournament, who has been selected for the forthcoming Twenty20 Internationals against New Zealand and the subsequent World Twenty20.
