Yuvraj Singh: India's Big-Match All-Rounder
Yuvraj played 402 international matches across Tests, ODIs and T20Is. His clean left-handed striking, athletic fielding and useful slow left-arm bowling made him one of India's most influential limited-overs players.
He accumulated 11,778 international runs, including 17 centuries, and took 148 wickets. His greatest value appeared when tournaments and pressure matches demanded an all-round contribution.
Yuvraj Singh's 2011 World Cup Masterclass
Yuvraj scored 362 runs at an average of 90.50 and took 15 wickets during India's title-winning 2011 World Cup campaign. His performances brought four Player of the Match awards and the tournament's top individual honour.
He made one century and four fifties, while his career-best ODI figures of 5/31 came against Ireland. India defeated Sri Lanka in the Mumbai final to lift the World Cup for the first time since 1983.

Against England at Durban during the inaugural 2007 T20 World Cup, Yuvraj hit Stuart Broad for six sixes in one over. He reached fifty from 12 balls, setting a record for the fastest half-century in men's international cricket at the time.
Days later, his 70 from 30 balls against Australia powered India into the final. India went on to beat Pakistan and win the inaugural men's T20 World Cup.
