Six sixes, Burnout and Walking Away from Cricket ft. Yuvraj Singh

Описание: In this episode, two sports champions sit across from each other and, between moments of easy banter, Sania Mirza gets Yuvraj Singh to reflect on the defining chapters of his life. From winning a World Cup while his body was failing, to being diagnosed with cancer at the peak of his career and being told he had 3 to 6 months to live, Yuvraj talks about resilience, anger, fear, and performing through pain under constant scrutiny.

He also speaks about the period when cricket stopped bringing him joy, why stepping away became necessary, and how mentoring younger players reshaped his journey, touching on childhood expectations, fatherhood, recovery after illness, and learning how to move forward on his own terms.

Serving It Up With Sania is a relaxed podcast hosted by global sports icon Sania Mirza. Each episode features unscripted conversations as Sania and her guests—athletes, influencers, and friends explore resilience, identity, parenthood, and societal norms.

It’s spontaneous and bold, offering insights and truths that rarely make it past PR. Serving It Up With Sania is where real stories take centre court.

Unscripted. Unfiltered. And always engaging.
