5 Indian batsmen who became specialists in just one format of the game

England v India: 4th npower Test - Day Four
Laxman had a special affinity towards Test matches

# 2 Yuvraj Singh (ODI cricket)

Australia v India - 2011 ICC World Cup Quarter-Final
Yuvraj Singh has delivered some memorable moments in the 50-over format of the game

Yuvraj Singh is best remembered for three things – hitting 6 sixes in an over of Stuart Broad, becoming Man of the Series in India’s 2011 World Cup triumph and lastly for making a comeback to the national side after battling lung cancer.

It was October 2000 when Yuvraj Singh made his ODI debut as an 18-year-old lad. He was inducted into the test side in 2003 but never made a huge impact.

Playing 40 Test matches in his career, Yuvraj just averages around 33 in the red ball format. Although he scored three centuries with a top score of 169, Yuvraj never got into the good books of selectors for making into the test squad.

With the Fab Five playing a major role in India’s success in home and away series, Yuvraj Singh only remained in the sidelines.
