5 part-time bowlers who did well for India in World Cups

#1 Yuvraj Singh

Yuvraj Singh picked up 15 wickets in the 2011 World Cup.

Yuvraj Singh was one of the best part-timers India have ever produced. He had the knack of picking up important wickets and at crucial junctures as well. In fact, Kevin Pietersen termed him as a ‘pie-chucker’.

He’s played three World Cups and has picked up 20 wickets and features in the top 10 wicket-takers for India in World Cups. The 2011 World Cup remains the highlight of the Punjab cricketer. His all-round show was one of the reasons for India’s title triumph. In that tournament, Yuvraj not only won games with the bat, he also turned games around with the ball. He picked up 15 wickets in that 2011 mega-event and consistently churned out breakthroughs.

He picked up a five-wicket haul against Ireland but some of his telling contributions came in the quarters, semis and the final where he picked up two wickets in each game.

Hence, Yuvraj will go down as one of the best part-timers to have played the World Cup.
