Let's see how long I can [continue]. While Harbhajan went on to play 100 Tests for India, Yuvraj is set to become only the fifth player for India to feature in 300 or more One-Day Internationals (ODIs).

"I don't know whether I am a role model but it's been a big achievement for me to get to 300 games". Keep pushing no matter what obstacles come in your life.

The elegant left-hander would tell you that getting that India jersey may not be very hard, but wearing it for 17 years, demands determination of a different level along with copious amount of self belief.

"Definitely the knock against Australia in the 2011 World Cup quarter-final is the most memorable knock".

After playing the semi-final Yuvraj Singh will join 300 ODI match landmark along with Sachin Tendulkar (463 ODI), followed by Rahul Dravid (340), Mohammad Azharuddin (334) and Sourav Ganguly (308). The difference, he pointed out, was the evolution in fitness levels. That would have been a big achievement for me but here I am now.

"Guys who are coming into the team are much fitter with better knowledge of eating habits, they are learning quickly".

Trump is not the only one under scrutiny, Barrett said: Investigators are also looking into the finances of Trump associates. Comey told Congress last week that he believed he was sacked "because of the Russian Federation investigation".

Yuvraj was laid low by cancer for close to two years but he said he never gave up hope of playing for India. A lot of people think there's a stigma with cancer. A lot of people can actually get inspired, not to give up.

"As long as I am performing for the team and playing well, I would like to keep playing for India". I didn't miss any of my domestic games except for when I got married. That was the reason I could spend a lot of time at the ground. "So I can motivate a lot of people to come out of it, and to come back to where they belong".

Asked to comment on any unfulfilled desire, he refused to think of the negatives. "My life was saved, that's more important", he said.

"To play for India is one thing but to sustain a long worldwide career is tough".

"I don't want to talk about my regrets when I am in a good zone. Hopefully a few more years", Yuvraj said when being asked about his future plans.
