We had played together for the nation for 16 years.

The two met for an hour at an apartment of Yuvraj&#8217;s friend here on Wednesday. Yuvraj got a warm embrace from Sachin and the two posed for photographs. Sachin also wished Yuvraj a speedy recovery and an early return to the game. During the treatment in Indianapolis, Yuvraj had been paid a visit by Anil Kumble.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Rahul Dravid said that Yuvraj Singh will be missed in this edition of the Indian Premier League. \u201cBut he is dealing with a more important thing. His speedy recovery and fitness is the biggest concern for us now. He is playing the most important innings of his life. We want him to be fit first, cricket can wait,\u201d was Dravid\u2019s take on his former teammate Yuvraj, says a report in <strong>TOI. <\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rubbishing speculations about the difference between him and Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid said that everything was fine between him and the Master Blaster, says a report in The Times Of India.
