Will this be one comeback too many?

The master of comebacks in modern Indian cricket, Yuvraj Singh has been a terrific player for over a decade now. He was in the prime of his life in the 2011 World Cup, where he was adjudged the Player of the Tournament, however, things went downhill for him ever since he was diagnosed with lung cancer.

After a brave battle and recovery, Yuvraj’s return to the international arena has been laced with passion and emotion. But he has had a stop-start career since then, being dropped repeatedly and having to make heroic comebacks.

His great domestic form ensured his selection to the Champions Trophy but his form since then has been less than confusing. When Yuvraj does hit the ball, as he did against Pakistan in the first game, there is simply no stopping him.

But he has struggled since then and has looked less than assured at the start of innings. Time might be running out for the stylish south-paw and there are major doubts over whether he could go the distance till 2019.
