8 partnerships Indian cricket fans can never forget

Yuvraj Singh – Mahendra Singh Dhoni, 2017

In January 2017, the Indian fans relived some of the best memories of the past decade as the iconic pair of Yuvi and Mahi turned the clock back. In the second ODI at Cuttack, they thrashed the English bowlers all around. The team was struggling miserably at a score of 25 for just three wickets. And then came the former captain and joined Yuvraj Singh who was making a comeback into the National side.

The iconic duo went on to construct a partnership of 256 runs for the fourth wicket. Yuvraj Singh scored his highest score of 150 runs. He was in the best form of his career thus far, and went on to hit 21 fours and three sixes.

Again, this partnership was not just about the runs that it involved. It was about the time that it came at and the pair involved. The Indian fans were already nostalgic with their captain stepping down from captaincy. Yuvraj Singh’s comeback increased the nostalgia even more. With all this happening, there was nothing more the Indian fans could have asked for.

Every six that Yuvraj Singh hit revived hundreds of memories and every run that Dhoni scored pleased everyone. In fact, many celebrities took to Twitter at the time to express the joy that they felt on seeing this pair playing together again.
