Brought back into the limited-overs side for this series, Yuvraj Singh showed that he still had in him to do well in the 50-over formats, when he smashed a career-best score of 150 in the second ODI at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack.
However, in the two T20Is so far, the 35-year-old left-hander has failed to hit the straps, making a mere 16 runs in the two matches so far and along with MS Dhoni needs to get his act going in the middle-order and get India to a competitive total, if they are batting first.
Like Dhoni, this could well be the last chance for this talisman as well to play at this venue, where he made his highest Test score against Pakistan in 2007 and he will hope that he can make a sizeable contribution to help India make it 2-1 in the series.
