Yuvraj singh scored 131 off just 102 balls with 10 fours and 7 sixes. This is the yuvraj singh people want to see and his knock enabled the Indian team to get a victory in the first match. he got the man of the match award as well. will he able to carry his form to the rest of the tournament? or will he be inconsistent again. Hope he keeps up the good performance. kartik provided him with good support and finally dhoni made some runs as well. Looks like yuvraj is the hitter while everyone plays around him.

Yeh it was a good knock from him. He has been playing well for the past couple of years and usually when it playes well in the first match he goes on to do well. I am sure he will do well in this series. He has a very important role to play now as the man in form in the middle order. Hope the others stick around with him while he playes his shots.

This is the play we expect from him even in T-20. But passed mistakes teach us. For first ODI he played very nice game. As you said it this must continue for other matches also.

It is vintage Yuvraj Singh. I think he is the player who is encouraging everybody in the team who are upset by their defeat in the T20 world cup and what a way to kick start the tounament with a brilliant quickfire century which changed the course of the match. He is no doubt a match winner for India and has now understood his responsibility as a team member. Right from the world cup, he is the man with golden touch for team India and I think that he will be making a statement to the world by being among the runs consistently in this series. Even when Dhoni came in, it could have been a tough situation, but all thanks to him and pathan to take advantage of the position that they were taken to by Yuvraj Singh and they capitalized on it. That enabled India to post a safe enough total to secure their first victory in the series!!

yaa that was absolutely a flawless innings from yuvy and kartik played a brilliant innings too his technique was awesome there could be a case of danger og gambhir if karthick plays like this in next few matches...but ishant sharma disappointed me and all indian fans and should be replaced by s sreesanth...what is your opinion in this...he is not getting 1% of his rhythm right actually now its the time for him to go back to delhi

Yuvraj's knock of 131 runs in first one-day against Westindies in Westindies is great. This is Yuvraj we want to see. Resent failer in T20 worldcup made Indian cricket fans unhappy but this win have undone that. Consistent performance is requered from Yuvraj. Not 100 every time but good score relative to match or say match winning or when team India need he should perform. Best of luck for rest of series.
