Former Indian all-rounder, Yuvraj Singh gave some nostalgia to his fans during the semi-final of the ongoing Road Safety World Series by playing a fiery knock of 49 not out off just 20 balls against West Indies Legends on Wednesday. His knock comprised of a four and 6 sixes as he went berserk at the West Indies bowling attack after captain Sachin Tendulkar laid the perfect platform for the death overs with his 65 off 42 balls.
Yuvraj hit Mahendra Nagamootoo for four sixes in five balls in the penultimate over of the first innings and at one point looked set to repeat his feat of six sixes in an over that he hit off Stuart Broad in the 2007 T20 World Cup. Here is the video of the same:

Yuvraj also smashed a couple of more sixes off Sulieman Benn in the final over as India Legends managed to reach a huge total of 218 for 3, the highest score in the tournament thus far. Earlier, former Indian opener, batsman Virender Sehwag was at his characteristic best as he hit 35 off 17 balls with five fours and one six.

Sehwag and Tendulkar added 56 runs for the first wicket inside the Powerplay and even though Mohammed Kaif was subdued with 27 off 21, Yusuf Pathan (37 not out off 20) and Yuvraj gave India a big finish.
Yuvraj came into this match in some good form as he played a match-winning knock of 52 not out off just 22 balls against South Africa Legends during the league stages.
