#2 2011 ICC World Cup group stage vs West Indies - 113 Runs

Down but not out
Down but not out

India's amazing triumph in the 2011 ICC World Cup on home soil will forever remained etched in every Indian's heart as it ended a 28-year wait for an ICC World Cup.

A big part of India's success will be attributed to Yuvraj Singh, the star who went on to win the 'Player of the tournament' award. One of his top performances from the tournament was his sensational century against West Indies at Chennai.

The knock was remarkable considering that Yuvraj was battling cough, a symptom of his cancer ailment and he battled past all that to notch up an incredible century. India were eventually bowled out for 268, a total which was largely possible due to Yuvraj's effort even though he lacked adequate support from the other end.

India then went on to win the game comfortably but it has to be said that the result would have been a huge doubt if not for Yuvraj's epic essay.
