SK Flashback: Yuvraj Singh stars as India reach semi-finals of 2011 World Cup

Yuvraj – the all-rounder

Yuvi delivered with the ball as well

Before his heroics with the bat, Yuvraj also played a key role with the ball, taking crucial wickets during Australia’s innings. Yuvraj’s bowling in the previous matches had earned him Dhoni’s trust and he was given 10 overs to bowl.

While Ashwin and Zaheer bagged the same amount of wickets as Yuvraj (2), the latter had a better economy rate. The left-arm tweaker bowled at a terrific economy of 4.40 and produced breakthroughs whenever the Australians looked like they were settling down.

He dismissed wicketkeeper-batsman, Brad Haddin as well as Australia’s batting mainstay, Michael Clarke.
