Top 5 Best Knocks of Yuvraj Singh
Let's take a closer look at some of the best innings played by the birthday boy Yuvraj Singh.
1. 70(30) vs Australia, Durban, World T20 2007
The World Cricket thought Yuvraj had produced his best against England at the 2007 World Cup. But the man had different plans in his mind, this time against Australia. Yuvi had to miss the last match against South Africa due to an injury that he suffered in the England match. The stage was even bigger, the semi-final of an ICC event that too in 2007.
At that time, Australia were invincible in ICC knockout matches. They reduced India to 41/2 in 8 overs. Then came Yuvraj Singh, who smashed Stuart Clarke to open his account. It indicated something special to follow in the next 12 overs. He decorated his innings with five fours and as many sixes.
That day, India scored 147 runs in the last 12 overs which helped them to post 188 runs on the board against a star-studded Australian Team. In today's day and age, this devastating batting may look normal, but 16 years back it was once in a full moon kind of a thing. With Yuvraj's knock, India were able to achieve that score and advance to the finals, which they eventually won beating arch-rival Pakistan.
