Shouldering The Burden

Virat Kohli and Yuvraj Singh carry India where they want to go.

Striking A Pose

Yuvraj Singh shows that he has still got it and the style that goes with it.

Rain Delay

These guys aren't depressed by the rain. They know it is only a matter of time before their hero makes it back on the field.

Welcome Back Yuvraj

Great news for Yuvraj Singh and very handy to have little old New Zealand to warm up on.

Batsman:Tweaker

Tillakaratne Dilshan, perhaps inspired by Yuvraj Singh's recent success, gets in touch with his spinning muse - and takes it seriously judging by his concentrated stare.

If he has half the success of Yuvy, Sri Lanka will be very pleased.

Staying Loose

Yuvraj Singh is a cool dude. Even in a hot shirt he can stay loose and limber, albeit with a little help from the staff.  He may well need all that Zen calm when it comes to facing the Crazy Green Men, 'cause who knows what they might bring to the game.

Yuvraj Explodes

And in the end, blows away the Aussie challenge. It now seems the biggest danger might be that India beats itself.

Sultry And Serious

Yuvraj Singh is leaving no one in any doubt that the job is not done.

Qualifying is just the start and you better believe it, or else.

Either that or he is threatening someone who has been messing with his hair products.

The Water Boy Goes Big

OK, it wasn't a classic Yuvraj innings, but it was better than the others managed. It also got him to the safety of the middle where only the bowlers could annoy him.

Butter Fingers!

Yes the Black Caps where lucky at times, and the pitch looks benign, and the Indians didn't bowl with real intensity, and they missed MS, but the biggest problem was the fielding. Yuvraj dropped a couple but that Munaf Patel is to fielding what Chris Martin is to batting!

Touch Down!

Just one of six for Ajantha Mendis, but Yuvraj was a very important one. You can tell the keeper agrees.
