Top 3 T20I knocks by Indian batsmen this decade

#2 Yuvraj Singh - 77* vs Australia, 2013

India's biggest T20 star

Yuvraj Singh was the one player who made the T20 format popular in India with his 6 sixes off Stuart Broad in the inaugural World Cup. Singh has now retired from international cricket but continues to wow the fans with his big-hitting skills in the foreign T20 leagues.

Having been an integral part of the Indian team, he played many memorable innings but the most special knock of his career came against Australia at Rajkot. Batting first, the visitors had set India a mighty target of 202 runs.

India then lost their top four batsmen in 11.1 overs. The scoreboard read 100/4 when MS Dhoni joined hands with Yuvi in the middle. The Punjabi all-rounder stitched a 102 run partnership with his skipper for the fifth wicket to drive India home. In this partnership, Dhoni's contribution was 24 runs off 21 deliveries.

At the other end, Yuvraj struck 77 runs off 35 balls in an innings which included eight fours and five sixes. He had a strike rate of 220 that night, which shows how brutally he whacked the likes of Clint McKay, James Faulkner, and Nathan Coulter-Nile. The experts billed this run chase as one of the best in T20I cricket history and Singh picked up the Man of the Match trophy for his whirlwind knock.
