One of the most charismatic batters India has produced, Yuvraj Singh turned back the clock in the Indian Masters League on Thursday. Yuvraj smashed a whopping 59 runs from 30 balls, landing 7 sixes and one four in the process as the Indian side eliminated Australia from the tournament. Yuvraj's towering sixes in the match reminded fans of his exploits in the ICC World T20 in 2008 where the southpaw had famously hit 6 sixes in an over against England pacer Stuart Broad.

Over the course of his stay in the middle, Yuvraj hit Australia leg-spinner McGain for three sixes in a single over, proving once again his status of one of the biggest hitters in the game.

In the match, the Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar also showcased his class, scoring 42 runs off 30 balls with the help of 7 fours. Stuart Binny, former India all-rounder, hit 36 runs from 21 balls while Yusuf Pathan smashed 23 runs off 10 balls. Irfan Pathan also produced a fine cameo of 19 runs off 7 balls.
