Vintage Yuvraj Singh is back. In the second of the three-match ODI series against England, Yuvraj looked solid throughout his innings -- much like the Yuvi we witnessed during the 2011ICC Cricket World Cup. Today, he scored a massive 150 from 127 balls at Cuttack.

With 25-3 on the scoreboard, Yuvraj along with Mahendra Singh Dhoni put up a partnership of 256 runs, putting India in a commanding position.

Seeing their hero back in form, his colleagues, fans and other celebrities showered praise for his outstanding performance on the micro-blogging site.

He was emotional.

Yuvraj Singh in full flow has all the grace of a Lara with all the destruction of Lord Shiva.

He turns cricket fans into poets!

Yuvraj Singh scored a century after his marriage so that everyone can say "Behind every successful man there is a woman". #INDvENG

No. "Cuttack!!" wasn't named after the sound of ball hitting the middle of Yuvi's bat. #IndvEng
