Jai Prakash Yadav
Jai Prakash Yadav, a former Indian international cricketer from Madhya Pradesh, was diagnosed with cancer in 1997. It came as a huge shock for the then 21-year-old as he thought he`ll never be able to realise his dream of donning Indian colours. But timely medication helped him beat the disease and make a comeback to the cricket field. He went on to make his debut for India in November 2002, but lasted only for 12 ODIs.
