Yuvraj Singh makes emotional return for India after battling back from rare form of cancer The left-hander started to notice something was wrong with his health while he was spearheading India's World Cup triumph and, despite being named man of the tournament, a golf ball-sized tumour was eventually discovered near his lungs. India captain MS Dhoni added: "It was good to see Yuvraj come back and score some runs. It was a big game for him. I personally feel that he gives us the right kind of balance we need. He is not someone who will bowl all four overs in a T20 game, but he is a variation that I can use especially since we have to play with four specialist bowlers. The game began with Brendon McCullum hitting a brisk 91 off just 55 balls for New Zealand as the visitors recovered from 2-2 to post a score of 167-5 off their 20 overs. Virat Kohli smashed 70 from 41 balls in reply but, despite the efforts of Yuvraj, who was cheered by the crowd as he made his way to the crease, India failed to find the six runs required off the final three balls and finished on 166-4. The result gives New Zealand a 1-0 series win after the first Twenty20 was washed out.
