The best left-handed Indian batsmen of all time

#2. Yuvraj Singh

Everything about Yuvraj Singh is dazzling, dramatic and full of life. He kick-started his international career by scoring 84 runs off 80 balls against the dominating Australians at the age of 18 in 2000.

He rose to the limelight in 2002 as his half-century anchored a historic, memorable and sensational chase against England in the finals of the NatWest Series. The next major highlight of his career came in 2007 when he smashed Stuart Broad for six sixes in one over in the inaugural world cup. One match later, he annihilated the then world champions, Australia with a knock of 30-ball 70 and became the architect of India's title triumph.

Four years later, he played the similar role in India's world cup championship win. With 365 runs, he bagged the man-of-the-series award but the happiness was short-lived as he was diagnosed with cancer.

The left-hander fought back and won the battle against cancer and staged an inspiring comeback in international cricket. Truly a dramatic and sensational story!
