Top 5 Indian performances against South Africa in T20Is 

#4 Yuvraj Singh 21(15) and 2-23 at Colombo, World T20 2012

India had to win by a certain margin in the league game against South Africa at the World T20 back in 2012 to advance to the next stage. and although they failed to achieve that, Yuvraj Singh put in an all-round masterclass that saw them win the game by the narrowest of margins.

The Indian star had just returned to the team after his illness and in this game, he turned in an all-round performance that was a throwback to his brilliance in the 2011 World Cup. Having been put in to bat first, India struggled to really get going.

Yuvraj scored a brisk 21 off 15 balls before perishing and in the end, Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni took the total to 152.

In their chase, South Africa looked comfortable but it was Yuvraj's slow left-arm off-spin that troubled them the most on a wearing pitch and he picked up the previous wickets of AB de Villiers and top scorer Faf du Plessis. On the other hand, he kept things tight and only went for 22 in his 4 overs. India won the game by 1 run in the end.
