Top 5 ODI finishers from India

#2 Yuvraj Singh

The very first time when Yuvraj Singh batted for India back in 2000 and made a scintillating 84 against an Australian bowling attack fronted by Glenn McGrath and Brett Lee, it became clear that India had discovered a special player.

Eventually, he became one of India's most important players in the one-day side and among the best finishers in world cricket. The left-hander was a majestic batsman in his prime and what made him such a hugely dangerous opponent was that he could hit sixes off fast bowlers, a skill not many in world cricket seem to have.

Only the best hitters in the world can consistently hit fast bowlers around and Yuvraj revelled in it. The fact that he was a superb timer of the ball helped as well. On the other hand, he was a superb runner between the wickets and could easily complete an extra run whenever he had the chance.

However, it was his power hitting that made it possible for India to finish their innings with a huge flourish. At the number 5/6 positions, Yuvraj made 4808 runs in 169 games at an average of 38.46 and he recorded a strike rate of 86.31.
