#4 India vs Australia, Rajkot (2013-14)

This was a comeback match for the Indian legend, Yuvraj Singh. Australia put into bat by India, scored a mammoth 201 with Aaron Finch going berserk and scoring 89(52). It looked like an uphill task for India as they required 69 runs off the last 6 overs.

The comeback king Yuvraj was in scintillating touch. The left-hander whacked the bowlers all around the park as his trademark powerful flicks, ferocious cuts and elegantly lofted drives enthralled the packed house. India reached home with two balls to spare.

India 202 for 4 (Yuvraj 77*, Dhawan 32, Kohli 29, McKay 2-50, Doherty 1-24) beat Australia 201 for 7 (Finch 89, Maddinson 34, Maxwell 27, Vinay 3-26, Bhuvneshwar 3-35) by six wickets
