Watch WT20 flashback: When Yuvraj Singh destroyed Australia in 2007 semi-finals

There are some moments that live on forever and one of them will be Yuvraj Singh’s destructive innings in 2007 semi-finals against Australia. Taking on a strong Australian side (the big boys then from India including Sachin, Sourav, Dravid  had stayed away), Yuvraj Singh came to bat when India had scored a paltry 41 from 8 overs. To say things were looking bad is an understatement.

But then Yuvraj Singh went on to give the Aussie bowlers a masterclass in ruthless batting as he dispatched them all over the pitch with trademark Punjabi disdain. He smashed 70 runs off 30 balls to help India reach 155 for 4 from 17.3 over. The damage was done, India won the match then the cup and Dhoni and his boys were on their way to write a glorious new chapter in Indian cricket.
