#3 Yuvraj Singh
Yuvraj Singh is considered by many to be the best all-rounder India has produced since Kapil Dev. He made his debut at the 2000 Champions Trophy and played his first international innings against Australia where he scored a brilliant 84 to guide India to a memorable win over the dominant Aussies. A couple of years later, he formed a match-winning partnership with Mohammad Kaif in the NatWest Series final, scoring 69 to help India to a famous win over England by chasing a mammoth score of 326.
‘Yuvi’ as he is fondly known, played an important role in India’s inaugural World T20 win in 2007, hitting six sixes off Stuart Broad in an over in a Super 8 match against England and scoring a match-winning knock of 70 off just 30 deliveries against Australia in the semi-final.
However, his best performance with the Indian team came at the 2011 World Cup where he scored 362 runs with the bat at an average of 90.50 and took 15 wickets with the ball at an economy rate of 5.02.
He later went on to battle and win against cancer. After recovering from the life-threatening disease, Yuvi had an on and off stint with the national team and is currently out of the national setup after last appearing during the 2016 ICC World T20. However, there’s no need to say that the let hander has been one of India’s greatest ODI cricketers ever.
