The only problem with the book is that it is short, else it was a good read. I am giving a generous rating in the hope that Indian sports writing keeps getting better. Dec 10, Monish Uday rated it really liked it. Such a simple book without any word plays, I just read in a day time. Media's Yuvi is very very different from real life.

You get your happy tears later when he describe his emotions for chennai crowd cheers in his come back match after chemo. His life taught me just one thing, life will surprise you will all strange things and all we need is Such a simple book without any word plays, I just read in a day time.
His life taught me just one thing, life will surprise you will all strange things and all we need is the will power to smash it out of boundary. If Yuvi can then we can too!!! View 2 comments. Dec 10, Gurnam Sodhi rated it really liked it. But the innocence with which the book is written is lovely. The inspirational stuff is not overloaded with heavy phrases or anything.
It is simply a story of survival. It is a must read for any cricket lover or Yuvraj fan. But for all others, this book might feel full of time jumps, repetitions and grammatical errors. A good editing might have made 4. A good editing might have made it a wonderful book. Feb 15, Ankit Bohra rated it it was amazing. No doubt "if you can we can" by Yuvraj Singh.
An inspirational story has been written by this Punjabi guy who has scribbled his journey from Kid to a cancer patient survivor and again back to his passion i. In his debut book, Yuvraj is able to knock our mind and make us to think " If we are passionate, can't we face the challenges, which are thrown to our way. Hats of this guy who didn't give up till end and made his way to his game.
Full marks. Jul 21, Dr. Yuvraj Singh!! Lastly, I got the copy in our college library, as a director to motivate our young student cricket team who comes out as the winning team almost every time in finals of campus cricket tournament events!!
It is about my toughest days and how I managed to come out of it. It is about hope, determination and courage to face challenges despite all odds. And believe me, we all have the strength to do it. So keep it up and keep your dreams alive and never give up.
God Bless. The Test Of My Life From Cricket To Cancer And Back is the heart-warming and inspirational tale of cricketer Yuvraj Singh s battle with the dreaded disease and how he was able to overcome this traumatic phase in his life. The victory of the ICC World Cup receded far into the background in the light of this new development in Yuvraj s life. The cricketer, who had recently been in the spotlight for his phenomenal performance in the World Cup, had to now see the world crumbling before him as he dealt with chemotherapy and its numerous adverse effects.
What started off as frequent bouts of illness and insomnia, along with a persistent cough that caused him to vomit blood, had eventually been diagnosed as cancer. The author talks about the chemotherapy treatment, and how he lost his hair and appetite.
Filled with varied emotions, doubts, and fears, the book is a captivating story of how a human being can fight to survive, even in the toughest of circumstances. The Test of My Life is an autobiography of Yuvraj Singh in which he describes the ups and downs of his career. Yuvraj Singh is the poster boy of Indian Cricket, the guy who hit six sixes in an over. I got the book the very next day it was launched. It is the only book I have read in one go and it was a joy to read the book.
But he wanted to fulfill his dreams through his son. The Test of My Life is a book of two stories. Yuvraj writes about his Ranji Trophy campaingn, his dream debut against Australia in , his ODI career and unsuccessful test career.
It was blown away how Yuvraj Singh played the World Cup and won it for us with Cancer brewing his body. Hats Off to the spirit of Yuvraj Singh. The fascinating story of a cricketer is in the backdrop of a cricketer fighting a battle against Cancer with helplessness. Yuvraj was on top of the world when he was told by Dr.
Einhorn that the cncer was dead, he could be back again to leading a normal life. In the last chapter Yuvraj talks about his emotional return to Cricket. I still remember I was desperately waiting for India vs New Zealand in Vishakhapatnam as it was the match Yuvraj would make his come back but the game got washed out.
But two days later Yuvraj made his come back in Chennai. When Yuvraj walked out to bat I had got emotional and when he hit Daniel Vettori for a six, I had tears in my eyes. But the return was not so easy, it took months of beastly training at NCA, Banglore. The book is a joy to read. The ups and downs are so well described that anybody can easily relate. This book is dedicated by Yuvraj to his Mom Shabnam Singh, who was with him through thick and thin and in the worst moment of his lives.
Aug 25, Saraswathi Pulluru rated it really liked it. I picked up this book to kick start my habit of reading non fiction for this year. And what better choice than Yuvi's tryst with cancer. I was assuming the book would be about cancer in entirety - but it spanned from his childhood right to the diagnosis, treatment and come back.
Two things stayed with me - a Greatness does not come with comforts, but with great discipline and pain b When you did not question God for the good things 'Why me? The I picked up this book to kick start my habit of reading non fiction for this year. The narration is personal in tone, and i finished the book one shot. Nnot being a cricket fan, finishing it in one go was possible only because of the content.
The denial towards cancer is real, and yuvi does not hide it from his readers. Being a big and famous cricketer in India - it's not easy to be so forthcoming about one's life. Fan for life. Jul 07, Hanumant rated it it was amazing. This book is truly inspiring.
The story of a man who faced so many ups and downs in life, but everytime, even in the toughest situations in the road of life, when he'd fall, he won't give up but, as he puts it, 'He'd pick himself up, dust himself off and keep running. Apr 26, Prince Pankaj rated it it was amazing. People know everything what need to be known about a legend like yuvraj, except some media paparazzi. Doesn't matter if you are an atheist or not or get fear from god or not fear from cancer.
You never get to know when your breath becomes air. Cancer takes all mental and physical strength once you had. He got lucky but not everyone could be. Nov 09, Sumit added it. The journey of cancer is very tough. Not only for the patient but for the family and friends too.
Yuvraj has done a great job telling his story of fighting with cancer and how it can mess up your life. He has proved that no matter how tough it gets, you can fight hard and come back as a winner.

This book is really very good in looking more closely into a sportsman life. It gives us the idea of the amount of pressure generated on the players during the game. In a game like cricket which is played and watched with so much passion in INDIA, it gives a greater amount of responsibility on the shoulders of the players where some of the players like Sachin Tendulkar are seen as GOD of cricket and literally worshiped by the crowd. The book also very well described the very state of mind of a per This book is really very good in looking more closely into a sportsman life.
The book also very well described the very state of mind of a person going through a treatment and the kind of support that is required at the time of fighting the illness from the people around us.
Like mentioned in the book Yuvi's mother and friends were quite supportive in making him go through the tough treatment of chemotherapy and help him recover fast and make all of us proud by rejoining cricket and also the start of an organisation named 'YOUWECAN' which provides medical and mental support to all of the cancer patients. Feb 05, Avanti Vartak rated it really liked it Shelves: popsugar-challenge , indian-books I absolutely loved this book,and not because I had a crush on Yuvi when I was in school,but because it is totally inspiring.
This book is an honest narration of his extra ordinary life. He has described his struggles through cricket as well as cancer very matter-of-factly without blaming anyone. He doesn't curse circumstances or wallow in self pity or cry about his misfortunes.
And that's what I loved most about it. Inspite of a major part of it being about cancer,it is not bleak ,it is filled with p I absolutely loved this book,and not because I had a crush on Yuvi when I was in school,but because it is totally inspiring.
Inspite of a major part of it being about cancer,it is not bleak ,it is filled with positivity. The unbreakable bond between him and his mother,his struggle to be a part of the Indian team,his fear when he was first diagnosed with cancer,his fight against cancer,the care he received from the medical staff,the support from his friends,the gratitude he has towards them and his journey back to the World Cup winning Indian team ,everything has been expressed simply but beautifully.

The Test of My Life is a real life story based on Yuvraj Singh's struggle through cancer and back to life. The book tells how Yuvi became a cricketer and how he grew up as a human being throughout this journey.
Very simply written which gives a feeling that you are hearing the story from Yuvi's mouth itself. This book would be an inspiration for upcoming cricketers as well as cancer survivors. It gives hope to those who struggle through difficulties of life. You feel bad when the details of Yuvi The Test of My Life is a real life story based on Yuvraj Singh's struggle through cancer and back to life. You feel bad when the details of Yuvi's chemotherapy is recited in such depth and he explains the agony he went through during those times.
Being a cricket fan myself, I was well aware of Yuvi's illness but reading the book firsthand literally brought tears to my eyes. Overall a good book. Feb 03, Ayush rated it really liked it. Never read such genuine description. Initially it excited me, then it showed the depressing side of sports and ended with the battle with Cancer.
In the end I was wondering if Yuvi had been a normal person would such turnaround in small time be possible. When I see Yuvi's batting in T20 today, I am reminded of all the fights he battled and his comeback.
My Grandfather had cancer and he couldn't make it. I wish he had survived the intense pain and radiation sessions. I actually ended up a bit dep Never read such genuine description. I actually ended up a bit depressed but life is tough.
A tale of courage and determination. Apr 13, Anand rated it it was amazing. This book was completely inspirational n kept our spirits up thru out the book. Yuvi has shared his worst period of his lyf, his emotional check he often kept, how he overcame all these.
Chemotherapy which is the hardest part in any o ne s lyf should not be feared abt it rather, face it with strength and confidence. Aug 26, Noopurr rated it it was ok. This is an honest book, written when he was going through a tough time. People who are in the same situation will be able to relate to it better.
It is definitely not a literary read Only wish the editor could have been more careful of the jumps in the story View 1 comment.
Mar 10, Dipen Patel rated it really liked it. We can know the actual thought process and mental state of someone suffering from cancer.
Yuvraj had been such a great character and such a wonderful player over years for India. This story is pure inspiration. Forget about the cricketing aspect of this book. The fact that Yuvraj managed to defeat cancer and managed to get back to normal life, is itself a miracle.
This book is a must for everyone who wants to instil confidence in themselves to beat this deadly disease. If Yuvi can, you can!! In the same match, he set the record for the fastest fifty in Twenty20 Internationals and in all Twenty20 cricket, reaching 50 runs in 12 balls. During the World Cup, he became the first player to take a 5-wicket haul and score a 50 in the same World Cup match. In , Yuvraj was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his left lung and underwent chemotherapy treatment in Boston and Indianapolis.
