Yuvraj Singh solves the middle-order puzzle
A lot was spoken about the recall of a 35-year-old Yuvraj Singh and those against his inclusion felt further vindicated when he did not fire in the opening ODI in Pune.However, in Cuttack, he answered his critics in the only manner in which he could- by getting runs and what an innings it was.
A maiden 150 to get the hosts out of a tight spot and helping them reach a match-winning total of 381 for 6.
The knock had everything one associated with a normal Yuvi innings and for most, it was the best form of time travel they could have hoped for on a warm Thursday afternoon.
He backed that with an impressive 45 in the next ODI at Kolkata and a good T20I series that starts on Republic Day should be enough for him to confirm a berth for the Champions Trophy.
