India’s Test team, led by Shubman Gill, attended a charity gala hosted by former cricketer Yuvraj Singh to support his ‘YouWeCan’ foundation for cancer awareness. The gala was attended by several prominent cricketers, including Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, and Virat Kohli.

Yuvraj Singh, a cancer survivor, launched the ‘YouWeCan’ foundation to raise awareness and conduct early screening workshops for oral, breast, and other cancers. 

Through this foundation, he provides financial aid for cancer treatments and educational scholarships to young cancer survivors and supports survivors with emotional and social reform programs.

Yuvraj Heaps Praise On Gill At Charity Gala

During the charity gala, former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh took the opportunity to praise India’s Test captain, Shubman Gill, for his achievements during the Edgbaston Test against England.

"I'm very proud of Shubman Gill and I'm sure that his father will also be very proud. I'm very impressed with the way Gill led and batted. I hope that he goes on to make a lot of centuries in international cricket," Yuvraj told ANI.

Gill scored 269 and 161 in two innings, accumulating the highest runs in a Test game by an Indian batter. His batting masterclass helped India set a massive 608-run target for England, which they couldn’t achieve, and handed the visitors a 336-run record win.
