Despite being unwell, which the fans got to know only after the batsman’s battle with cancer was made official, Yuvraj went on to slam 113 runs in the Chennai heat in the 2011 World Cup. His knock was laced by 10 fours and two sixes. This was his 13th ODI ton which helped India put on 268 runs in the first innings and win the game by 80 runs.

Yuvraj picked up two wickets and then shared a 74-run stand with Suresh Raina to help India reach the semi-final. His contribution with the bat was a 65-ball 57.
