5 things that have happened since Yuvraj Singh last played an ODI

#2 AB De Villiers’ record-breaking knock (2015)

The enigmatic run machine proved why he is one of the most feared batsmen in world cricket by demolishing the West Indian attack beyond repair in one of the most destructive innings played in the ODI format in 2015. The major highlight of his innings was the way he made clean strikes on the ball, effortlessly depositing them over the fence, be it a pacer or a spinner.

In no time, he had usurped records for the fastest 50,100 and 150, even as the West Indian attack, wilted, crumbled and finally crashed out of sight. In less than an hour, De Villiers blasted 16 sixes, singling out Jason Holder for special treatment by looting 45 runs off the nine balls he faced off the right-hander.

Yuvraj Singh joined AB De Villiers for a solitary season in the Royal Challengers Bangalore fold for the IPL’s 2014 edition, having bought for a whopping Rs. 14 crores.
