Top 5 MS Dhoni-Yuvraj Singh Partnerships

3. 102*vs Australia, Rajkot, 2013

MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh

In the one off Twenty20 against Australia in Rajkot, Australia set India a target of 202 in just 20 overs which was considered as a Himalayan task. India was set a challenging target and they lost Rohit early. Raina and Dhawan gave them a good start in the powerplay overs until both were dismissed. Kohli threw his wicket away after getting a start. In his second comeback after recovering from cancer, a leaner and fitter Yuvraj Singh was called upon to do a job he has done numerous times for India in ODIs – revive a huge chase, with MS Dhoni for company. As expected, this pair got out India from blushes yet again as Yuvraj and Dhoni partnership of 102 off 51 balls that took India home. The former was the aggressor as he paced his innings superbly and scored his highest T20I score, 77 off 35 balls and he was well aided by his skipper who played second fiddle by scoring a 24 ball 21.
