India faced World Champions Australia in the quarterfinals of the ICC KnockOut Cup in 2000. Ganguly and Sachin got the team off to a flying start, but the team lost quick wickets and were reeling at 90-3.

So, when Yuvraj Singh came into bat in Indian colours for the first time, he was under tremendous pressure to deliver. He took the attack to the opposition which surprised the mighty Australians. His bat swing impressed everyone as he made run-scoring look easy against a quality pace attack.

The 18-year old first steadied innings with a 64-run partnership with Robin Singh before bringing up his 50 off just 46 balls. He continued to plunder the attack as his 84 helped India post a match-winning total of 265 on board. That inning proved that India had found a player who could end up as one of the finest white ball players.
