Remembering 5 special performances from Yuvraj Singh on his birthday

#1 The second coming

The old Yuvi was back.

Yuvi made his comeback after recovering from cancer, but everyone felt that he was not the same player anymore. The runs were coming but the swagger of old Yuvraj was missing. It was in the second ODI against England on 19 January 2017, that Yuvi and Dhoni turned back the clock and showed the world that he was far from over.

These two came together with Team India reeling at 25-3 and stitched together a record 256-run partnership. Yuvi notched up his fourteenth ODI hundred as he smashed his way to a career-best score of 150 in just 127 balls. With the high elbow drives and powerful flicks over midwicket, the old Yuvi was back.

This was reminiscent of that famous night in Mumbai, 6 years ago when they won the World Cup for India.

Yuvraj's performance reminded everyone that he is one of the most gifted and one of the greatest ODI players India have ever had.
