Welcome back home my brother: Sachin Tendulkar to Yuvraj Singh

Senior Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar on Monday welcomed teammate Yuvraj Singh on his return to the country and wished him a speedy recovery following his treatment for a rare germ cell cancer in the United States.

"Yuvi- Got well soon ?. Welcome back home my brother after winning a tough battle with cancer," Tendulkar wrote on his Twitter page.

Yuvraj, who underwent three cycles of chemotherapy for a rare germ cell cancer between his lungs, returned home to a rousing welcome from adoring fans.

Received by his mother Shabnam at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, Yuvraj came on a Jet Airways flight this morning after spending some days in London to recuperate from the after-effects of the chemotherapy.

Tendulkar, who is nursing his injured finger, had met the left-handed batsman in London last month.
