From being a live-wire on the field to smashing Stuart Broad for six sixes in an over in the 2007 ICC World T20, Yuvraj Singh has given his fans many memories to cherish. Among the many highs of his career, Yuvraj Singh's performance in the 2011 ICC World Cup is right up there. Not only did he win the man of the tournament award (362 runs and 15 wickets) but also played an important role in India's World Cup-winning campaign.
Apart from cricketers, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) also uploaded a video of Yuvraj's 138-run knock against England at Rajkot.

Yuvraj, who has the distinction of notching up the fastest T20I fifty off 12 balls, represented India in 58 T20Is and scored 1,177 runs, with highest being an unbeaten 77.
