Yuvraj Singh, who was released yesterday from the Indian squad to join Punjab for their Ranji Trophy match against Bengal in Siliguri, had to be rushed back here today, severely ill through food poisoning.
Yuvraj reached Siliguri last evening and was being put up in a plush hotel. However, Yuvraj insisted that he stay with the Punjab team and moved over to that hotel.
Late afternoon, as Yuvraj looked to step out for practice, he saw a sizeable crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of their star and Yuvraj had to stay in his room, where he had his food as well.
Sources say Yuvraj felt unwell after having a chicken sandwich at the hotel, and his condition worsened this morning and teammates saw him throwing up repeatedly. He was flown back soon after.
