10 things to know about Yuvraj Singh

#6 The golden period, 2006-08

Yuvraj’s golden period began in 2006 with the tour of Pakistan.

While Yuvi sizzled with the bat with his 139 against Australia at the SCG in 2004, and his maiden Test century against Pakistan in Lahore in 2004, his era of reckoning came in 2006, when after a century in vain against the neighbours at Karachi in 2006, Yuvraj came of his own in the ODI series that followed.

He made three 50 plus scores in the 5-match series, the most noticeable one being the knock of 107 in the final game, when he batted with a hamstring injury, to gift India their second series win in consecutive attempts on the Pakistani soil.
