On Thursday, at Cuttack, Yuvraj Singh was back in form and was at his best. The Indian Cricket team is playing a three match ODI series against England. In the second match that is happening in Cuttack, Yuvraj upheld the Indian innings with M.S. Dhoni and scored his 14th century. The match is a fifty over format in which he scored the century off 98 balls. The Dhoni-Yuvraj partnership accounted to 164 run partnership in which Dhoni had scored 62 runs.
Yuvraj Singh has not been a part of International ODI’s after 2011 and the last century was against West Indies in Chennai. Yuvraj’s century stabilized the innings after a frisky start in the match where England won the toss and elected to bowl first. K.L. Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan started off briskly but Rahul was dismissed by Chris Woakes in the third over. The second wicket was Virat Kohli, who got out by catch four balls after Rahul’s dismissal. Dhawan was the third wicket, leaving India at 25/3.

As Dhoni and Yuvraj’s partnership took off, Yuvraj proved himself to be the aggressive force of the two. The ex-Captain Dhoni, kept the strike rotating and let the Punjab Captain Yuvraj take the game and stabilize it. Yuvraj has scored his century in ODI’s today after a five year break!
