Yuvraj Singh's retirement brought about an end to an era in Indian cricket. Since his debut in 2000, he has represented India in over 400 games across formats and there have been several highlights in his career. Of course, the best moment, by his own admission, was winning the 2011 World Cup. In fact,?Yuvraj does have a good record at the top level and without a doubt performs well when under pressure.?

There have been many times that he has stood up to the plate when needed and particularly in World Cups, he has displayed his class more than once. Some of these knocks are memorable because they came when the side really needed them. So let's take a look at when he dazzled us with his class:
On a tricky pitch he attacked the bowling and boosted India's total towards the end. What made life difficult for the English was that he was not slogging but hitting cleanly.?
This game is mainly remembered for Sachin Tendulkar's 98 but it was Yuvraj who along? with Rahul Dravid took India home once the Master Blaster departed.?
When he came out to bat, India were in a tricky position. He kept skipper Sourav Ganguly company as India won to inch a step closer to a place in the semis.?

It was a Happy Holi indeed as he displayed some brilliant strokeplay to help India post a decent score. It helped us win the game and that was the tournament which belonged to him.

Chasing a competitive target of 261, he ended the Aussie reign as India ousted them in the quarters. It remains one of his best knocks under pressure.?
