 Yuvraj Singh burst on the scene in the ICC Knockout Trophy in 2000 where batting in his second match against Australia, he scored a match-winning 84, impressed one and all with his superb fielding and went on to win the Man of the Match award. In Yuvraj, India had found a great talent but soon that was getting wasted due to his attitude and he was dropped from the team. Yuvraj fought back into the Indian team with some huge scores in domestic cricket and since then has become one of the most stylish Indian batsmen who when gets going can win the match on his own, not just by his batting but also by his left-arm spin. Yuvraj is one of the mainstays of the Indian batting line-up in ODIs and T20s and but is yet to cement his place in the Test team. Yuvraj played a significant role in India's Twenty20 World Cup triumph in 2007 in which he hit Stuart Broad for six sixes in an over. Just before the 2011 World Cup, Yuvraj was dogged by poor form but the Indian selectors backed him and that paid off as he scored runs and picked up wickets consistently throughout the tournament and was named player of the 2011 World Cup.
