In the 1st ODI against Bangladesh at Chittagong back in 2004, India scored 245 for 8 batting first. This match is also fondly remembered by cricket fans as the occasion when a certain long-haired boy from Ranchi by the name of MS Dhoni made his ODI debut.

Dhoni, however, did not trouble the scorers as he was run out off his first ball in international cricket. Chasing 245, Bangladesh tried to get off to a flying start.

In those days, Mohammad Rafique was opening the batting as a pinch-hitter and he was going after Irfan Pathan. Already having hit a six in that over, he tried to hit uppishly over backward point.

But Yuvraj timed his jump into perfection and completed an incredible on-handed catch. India ultimately won the match as Bangladesh fell short by 11 runs in the end.
