Back to back hundreds for Yuvraj


Yuvi is in fine touch and have scored back to back hundreds .. In the 7 match ODI series  against England Yuvi has scored babck to back tonnes in the first two one dayers. The frst one with a splendid stirke rate up to the 180's. And the second ton with a strike rate around 100. The second one wasmore special as it was a rescuing operation when they were 3 down just for 29 runs. He began  bit slowly and after having the eye in he started playing his shots all around the wicket . Had a good partnership with Gautham and lasted till the 43rd over .. 

Sure he is one of the strongest contender for the player of the series award.  Though its very early to predict with a form he is in and the hundreds he has under his belt he'l have confidence and sure he can contribute a lot in the following matches. By scoring a century in the next match he can earn the fame of the player scoring a hat trick ton . Ther is an oppurtunity for him to set the record of scoring the most number of runs and also most centuries in a 7 match series. 

In two matches he has scroed 256  runs with a not out which raises his average to 256 with the scoring rate of 128 runs per 100 balls. Also he has taken 2 wickets in the series in 9 overs giving only 27 runs with an economy rate of 3.00 . He has hit a total of 8 sixes in the two matches with  2 sixes in the second match.  He has also included his name in the set of players who has scored a hundred and took 4 wickets in the same match. One of the brilliant performances in the  cricket world.

With some super performances he has made sure that he no moe wants to miss the 5 day matches .  Probably he's the one who can fill the place left by Ganguly.
