4 Indian players you might not know have won an ICC award

#1 Yuvraj Singh

Yuvraj Singh made India proud at the ICC Awards in 2008.

No one can ever be regaled with the saga of the inaugural T20I World Cup without Yuvraj's onslaught against Stuart Broad in Durban being a part of it. The memories of him hitting Broad all around the park are still fresh in the minds of Indian cricket fans. No matter where he pitched the ball, no matter whether he came around or over the wicket every single ball of the nineteenth over of India's innings was dispatched for a six. He became the first batsman to hit 6 sixes in an over and completed his fifty in just 12 balls which, to date, remains the fastest fifty scored in international cricket.

His knock did not just entertain Indian fans but also made sure that India remained alive in the tournament, which they eventually won. The ICC recognized the impact of his knock and announced it as the best T20I performance of the year in 2008 ICC Awards. It was the first time the ICC had introduced the award, and though there were other fantastic performances vying for it, Yuvraj winning it ultimately was a perfect reward for a tournament-defining inning.
