5 Yuvraj Singh

India v West Indies: Group B - 2011 ICC World Cup

Yuvraj Singh is that rare specimen among Indian batsmen, who is more adept at playing fast bowlers than spinners and one of the shots that he played to devastating effect was the pull shot.

Perhaps practicing on the concrete pitch with a bowling machine in his backyard while growing up was a factor in the relative ease with which he played against fast bowling and when he was at his peak, the short ball did not faze him much.

Throughout his career as one of the best strikers of the ball in limited overs cricket, Yuvraj used the pull shot to break plenty of fast bowlers and in his pomp, there was no better sight in Indian cricket.
