India's All-Time World Cup XI v Pakistan 

All Rounders - Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina

'Yuvraj Singh has got the Punjab going'

Known to be a big match player, Yuvraj Singh justified his credentials in the high adrenaline games against Pakistan in the World Cup.

Making his way into the side as a young colt in 2003, Yuvraj put pressure on the rich crop of Pakistani pacers at their prime, scoring a brisk 50* to ensure that the team crossed the line without any hiccups.

Fast forward eight years, he executed the role of a senior all-rounder, applying brakes on the Pakistani innings with his handy slow left-arm bowling, claiming two important wickets and thereby, clawing India back into the game.

Suresh Raina excelled as a finisher in the 2011 WC

Suresh Raina turned out to be the X-Factor for the Indian side the two times that he took ground against Pakistan in the semi-final in 2011.

The southpaw finished off the innings in great fashion, helping India to maintain a firm grip over the match. His 36 runs in the semi final of 2011 may sound insignificant, but were worth its weight in gold.

Similarly, his 56-ball-74 turned out to be crucial for India in the context of that game, as it helped the then-defending champions to post 300 on the board.
