This tournament was special for Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar, but the biggest hero of that World Cup was Yuvraj Singh, who, despite being unwell, not only played an important role in making the team the world champion with his all-rounder performance but also Player of the series was also selected.

Yuvraj Singh was in great form in the 2011 ODI World Cup and impressed with his performances in several matches. Yuvraj was named Player of the Match a total of four times, equaling Sri Lanka's Aravinda de Silva (1996) and South Africa's Lance Klusener (1999) in terms of winning the award for the most times in a World Cup.

 

Yuvraj has many achievements

Yuvraj scored more than 300 runs in nine innings during that period and took 15 wickets. He became the first all-rounder to do so in a World Cup.
