Centuries from Yuvraj Singh and MS Dhoni helped India defeat England by 15 runs and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the ODI series at Cuttack on Thursday.
There was a lot of praise for the duo on Twitter as they rolled back the years to produce an outstanding 256-run partnership.
Former Indian batsman Virender Sehwag saluted Yuvraj’s fighting spirit, having defeated cancer and now scoring a century in international cricket.
Here, we collect the top tweets from the game.
