If we pick an all-time ODI XI for India, then Yuvraj Singh could walk into the line-up. The southpaw was one of the cleanest hitters of the cricket ball as it is impossible to stop him if he is in form.

The Punjab-lad was the man of the series in India's World Cup triumph in 2011. His bat yielded 362 runs but the biggest impact was his slow left-arm spin which fetched 15 wickets. No one could forget his contribution in the inaugural T20 World Cup with his six sixes against England being the lynchpin.

After being out of the side due to cancer, India hasn't had a stable No. 4. That was the primary reason why he was called back for the spot for 2017 Champions Trophy. Fans had a slightest of hope to see him in the World Cup when he started off IPL 2019 with a half-century.

But Mumbai Indians left him out even at the expense of Siddhesh Lad and Ishan Kishan. Fans expressed their disappointment over his exclusion as he is reportedly contemplating retirement.
