Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi said he was sad to hear about the ill-health of India’s ace cricketer Yuvraj Singh and expressed hope that he would play again for the country.
“Sad to hear about ill-health of Yuvraj Singh. He is a fighter and I am sure he’ll come out of it very soon and play again for India,” Modi wrote in his twitter account.
