"Catch me if you can"

We all know what an epic match that was- the 2002 Natwest Series final between England and India at Lord's. The Men in Blue successfully chased down the target of 326 in a dramatic fashion (won by two wickets), thanks to the half-centuries from skipper Sourav Ganguly, Yuvraj Singh and Mohammad Kaif. All-rounder Yuvraj Singh's 121 run partnership with Kaif turned the game in India's favour, prior to which the team was reeling at 146-5 on Sachin's dismissal.

Yuvraj, who got out to Paul Collingwood when India needed 59 more runs (off 50 balls) came down running on to the ground with pads on once Zaheer Khan hit the winning runs for Ganguly's men. He came running so fast that the Lord's gatekeeper asked him, "Son, where are you going?". Replying to this, a joyous Yuvraj Singh said: "Catch me if you can". Indeed, a remarkable game and an even more astonishing reply from Yuvi!
