7 Best performances of Yuvraj Singh in ICC Events

Three top class catches and 62 vs South Africa
2002 Champions Trophy

Yuvraj Singh brought a completely different level of calmness into his game in this ultra-important semi-final clash against South Africa at Colombo in the 2002 Champions Trophy. India had batted first and put on just 261, thanks to Yuvraj’s 62 and Sehwag’s 59. The Proteas were going great guns when at 192, Herschelle Gibbs had to retired hurt due to severe cramps for 116 and that somehow gave India the chance to choke the life out of African chase.

Yuvraj had started the proceedings by taking a brilliant catch of Graeme Smith at the start of the match and he took probably the catch which is part of all highlight reels, a catch running from short fine leg to behind the keeper, to dismiss Jonty Rhodes. India was able to restrict South Africa to 251 and won the match by 10 runs.
