5 Indian batting legends who won the match with their magical bowling spells

#4 Yuvraj Singh - 5/31 versus Ireland - WC 2011, Bengaluru

Yuvraj Singh has been a wily bowler who has performed the role of a fifth bowler to perfection on many occasions. He did a commendable job in the 2011 World Cup picking 15 wickets in the tournament.

When Ireland played India in the 2011 WC, they were fresh of their famous upset win against England chasing down 327. Kevin O'Brien had massacred a hapless England bowling attack scoring the fastest hundred in WC history with 113 runs from 63 balls.

Indians were wary of the Irish fightback and decided to bowl first. Ireland were jolted with 2 early blows, but captain Will Porterfield and Niall O'Brien resurrected the innings with a 113 run-stand.

At this point of time, Yuvraj was introduced into the attack and started bowling a few economical overs. He first dismissed White followed by the dangerman Kevin O'Brien for 9. Yuvraj was bowling it slow and the pitch was gripping and turning. He also snared the innings top scorer Porterfield, Alex Cusack and John Mooney. Yuvraj was the star with the ball ending the spell with 10-0-31-5.

India chased down Ireland's target of 207 with Yuvraj scoring an impressive fifty and he was awarded MoM for his all-round efforts.

This is also the best ever figures by a left-arm spinner in World Cup history and this record will stand the test of time and only Kuldeep Yadav seems the likely contender to challenge this feat.
