Cuttack: Swashbuckling batsman Yuvraj Singh, who surpassed his personal best of 139 in ODIs by making 150 against England in Cuttack on Thursday termed his knock of 150 as "one of the best" in his 16-year international career.
"Probably, one of my best innings. The last time I got a hundred was the 2011 World Cup. I am very happy with the innings. We were trying to get a partnership. I just wanted to play down the ground and not take much risk. I have been hitting the ball well in the whole domestic season," said Yuvraj during the innings break.
Yuvraj revealed that he had decided before coming out to bat that he will play big shots.
"I had a word with Sanjay Bangar, I told him the way I am hitting the ball I will go big. With the five fielder rule, mid-on, mid-off is up, the wicket was not (helpful) for the seamers after the first 10 overs," said Yuvraj.
Yuvraj heaped praise on MS Dhoni, who also scored a century.
"Dhoni has been a sensational captain for India. When Mahi is not captaining, he will bat freely. Hopefully, if we take early wickets we can win the game."
