#5 Willpower - Yuvraj Singh

The six-sixes man, king Yuvraj Singh has an unwavering mind. A dogged Yuvraj battled cancer and also made a comeback to the national side in April 2012. Battling such a life-threatening disease requires resolute self-belief, which Yuvraj exhibited.

It was during the 2011 World Cup that Yuvraj started facing difficulty in breathing. After a thorough examination, it was found out that Yuvraj was carrying a malignant tumour about 14 cm in size between his chest and left lung.

It was his willpower through the treatment that got him through the terrifying situation and play the rest of the World Cup.

He didn't just play the World Cup but literally won it for the country. He was adjudged man of the tournament. Yuvraj is purported to not have informed the BCCI or the team management about his condition till the World Cup ended.

"I did not inform about it to the BCCI, team management or teammates. The World Cup was in India and was also Sachin's last chance to lift the trophy. So I overcame my fear and focused on winning the cup," he said at a press conference.

Although he recently failed the Yo-Yo fitness test - a new prerequisite for selection in the Indian team, given his willpower, he can surely make a comeback.
