Yuvraj Singh, who is recovering from a rare germ cell cancer between his lungs, on Thursday met his Pune Warrior teammates and was seen in good spirits, enjoying his side's IPL match against Deccan Chargers here.

Yuvraj, who returned to the country earlier this month after treatment in the United States for more than two months, was seen waving to the crowd at the Subrata Roy Sahara Stadium and talking to his teammates.

He hugged Robin Uthappa and Murali Kartik before having a chat with team owner Subrata Roy's son Seemanto Roy.

Yuvraj said he was feeling better and aiming to return to cricket in two or three months time.

"I'm starting to feel better, eating a lot of organic food. Doesn't taste good but I have to eat it. I'm starting to walk more. I can't say a time (when he'll come back). Maybe two or three months. Depends on my body. Hopefully I'll come back fast," Yuvraj said just before the match.

"I wanted to go and take guard today but I was happy to hit a few balls and see my team-mates. I am happy to see my friends and of course the crowd. It's nice to be back among my team-mates and friends. It's special today," he said.

Yuvraj, who captained Pune Warriors last season, thanked the fans, friends and well wishers for supporting him in his hour of crisis.
