5 life lessons we can learn from Yuvraj Singh

#3 Develop an unflappable temperament

Yuvraj banished the demons of The Oval by hammering Stuart Broad for six sixes in an over

Yuvraj's exhilarating feat of hammering six sixes off a hapless Stuart Broad over remains one of the most unforgettable moments in the short history of the World T20. Andrew Flintoff may continue to regret his fateful conversation with the rampaging left-hander. However, the events surrounding that astonishing performance had been inadvertently set in motion by the mercurial Dmitri Mascarenhas.

The England all-rounder had plundered the left-arm spin of Yuvraj for five towering sixes off the final five deliveries of the hosts' innings in an ODI at The Oval. Exactly 15 days later, the Indian star exacted revenge by taking full toll of Broad on a balmy night at Durban.

Even though Mascarenhas' savage hitting could not prevent India from pulling off a thrilling victory in that game, a lesser man than Yuvraj might not have recovered from the trauma. The manner in which he bounced back from being tormented to becoming tormentor gives us an insight into the southpaw's unflappable temperament. Developing such a tranquil approach towards life could help an individual deal with the pangs of misery.
