Yuvraj Singh and Mahendra Singh Dhoni were at their vintage best, as they powered India to 381/6 after being precarious situation losing three early wickets. Yuvraj, who returned to the national side on the back of some prolific scores for Punjab in the Ranji Trophy, looked in ominous touch as he went on to amass his career-best score of 150 runs in only 127 deliveries, comprising 21 fours and three huge sixes. Dhoni in the meantime became the first Indian to hit 200 sixes in ODIs and went on to score his century. People went gaga over Yuvi-Dhoni show and appreciated him for his comeback. Here are some of the reactions on twitter.
ICC tweeted, “An epic 256 run partnership from veterans MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh powers India to 381/6 - is it too high for England to chase? #IndvEng”.
