#2 The King of Sixes - Yuvraj Singh overcomes pain to win it for India

When the going gets tough the tough get going - a saying that fits perfectly for the six-sixes man Yuvraj Singh. It was the time when the Indian fans' expectations were at an all-time high with the ODI World Cup being played at home. It was also time when Yuvraj had started to see symptoms of cancer.

Yuvraj Singh overcame pain to score a staggering 113* against the West Indies in ICC 2011 World Cup

20th March 2011, India was scheduled to play the unpredictable West Indies in a crucial group stage encounter.

Yuvraj had not been keeping well and had started vomiting blood just prior to the match. He did not feel like eating as well. But the iron-willed Yuvraj took the field and gave it everything he had scoring a staggering 113 out of the total 268 that India scored batting first. His knock included 10 fours and two sixes. Yuvraj also took two crucial wickets with his accurate bowling leading India to a victory.

There were times during the match when he felt dizzy and was also asked by umpire Simon Taufel whether he wishes to leave the field but the dogged southpaw kept going.

He was adjudged the Man of The Match. This performance by Yuvraj Singh was truly an inspirational one characterized by grit and determination.
