Player of the Tournaments in World Cups

#2 Yuvraj Singh, India - 2011

The champion roars after knocking Australia out of the 2011 World Cup

India’s champion player Yuvraj Singh was simply unstoppable in ICC Cricket World Cup, 2011.

Often regarded as a big tournament player, Yuvi proved his worth to the team not only with the bat but also by allowing MS Dhoni an extra wicket-taking option in the bowling attack with his left-arm orthodox.

It was only during his century knock against the West Indies that the south paw was spotted coughing and vomiting. As it later turned out, India’s limited over star had been battling cancer while the World Cup was on but that did not let him compromise with his game in the World Cup.

With 362 runs and 15 wickets, Yuvi was adjudged the Player of the Tournament as India lifted the World Cup after 28 years beating Sri Lanka in the finals at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
