All time left-handed ODI XI (current and retired across all era's)

#5 Yuvraj Singh (India-batsman and left arm orthodox)

Yuvraj Singh will forever be remembered for his performances in the 2011 World Cup

One of the most stylish stroke players in the game, Yuvraj Singh occupies the No.5 slot. His adaptability and his destructive approach is simply astounding. Like Lara, Yuvraj also has a huge backlift to go with his tremendous bat swing.

Besides his batting prowess, he is also a useful left-arm spinner and has the ability to break crucial partnerships. He is a terrific fielder too and has taken some extraordinary catches in his career.

Yuvraj debuted at the ICC Knockout Trophy at Kenya in 2000 and played a match-winning knock in his very first match. Yuvraj’s brilliant 88 helped India to overcome the Australian challenge in the semi-final. One of his special knocks came against England in the ICC Natwest Trophy final in 2002.

Chasing a mammoth 326, the Indians were looking down the barrel and were staring at yet another defeat in the final, before Yuvraj Singh and Mohammed Kaif played the innings of their lives and steered India to a famous victory.

Herschelle Gibbs is the only other cricketer apart from Yuvraj to have hit six consecutive sixes in an international match. Yuvraj has played 293 ODIs till date scoring over 8000 runs with 13 centuries and 51 half centuries. Yuvi has also taken 111 wickets in his career so far.
