New Delhi: Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh was on Sunday discharged from hospital after completing the third and final cycle of chemotherapy to recover from a rare germ cell cancer in Boston, USA.

"3rd chemo cycles over, back from hospital and I am free. Road to recovery starts now. Can't wait to be back home," Yuvraj tweeted.

"Thank you 4 all your love and wishes from the bottom of my heart I'm sure they have worked well with the doctors therapy," he said.

Yuvraj, who has been in Boston since last month, is expected to be back on the field in the first week of May, according to his doctor. The 30-year-old has gone bald during the treatment.

Meanwhile, Yuvraj also paid tribute to his veteran teammate Sachin Tendulkar for completing a century of international hundreds.
