Yuvraj Singh’s sublime knock of 150 off just 127 deliveries guided Team India to a mammoth total of 381in the second ODI against England at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack. It also remains to be Yuvraj’s highest score in ODI cricket. The Punjab-born cricketer had slammed 21 boundaries and three sixes in the game.
England skipper Eoin Morgan, winning the toss, had decided to bowl first and the decision initially paid off as India lost three quick wickets after scoring just 25 runs. Yuvraj and the then India skipper MS Dhoni weathered the storm and forged a solid partnership of 256 to bring the hosts back in the contest. Dhoni also recorded a phenomenal ton in that fixture. India ultimately managed to win the encounter by a margin of 15 runs.
