Yuvraj Singh's memoir to be auctioned online

The first 20 copies of Yuvraj Singh's memoir The Test of My Life, which chronicles the cricketer's battle against cancer following the euphoria of the 2011 World Cup, will go up for bid on Collectabillia.com's newly launched auction portal at 9 am on Saturday.

Collectabillia, along with Random House, is offering fans an opportunity to own the first 20 autographed copies long before the book hits the stands. Bids open at Rs5,000.

The limited edition books will also include a handwritten letter by the Arjuna Awardee and proceeds raised from the week-long auction will be donated to the YouWeCan Foundation.

Sharing an insight on the book, Yuvraj said, "I have always believed in fighting hard, and not giving up and through this book, I hope to encourage the thousands of others, who are facing similar challenges, to not give up. I also want them to know they are not alone in their fight."
