'Yuvraj is making us believe in fairytales'

Playing only his second ODI since 2013, Yuvraj Singh got a career-best score of 150, his first hundred in international cricket since the 2011 World Cup and the first since his recovery from a rare form of germ cell cancer in 2012.

Incredible story and comeback @YUVSTRONG12 ... To Beat the Dreaded 'C' is remarkable but to then score an international 100 .. !!! #Strong

Giving Yuvraj company was MS Dhoni, who also scored a hundred. The two put on 256 in 38.2 overs after India had been reduced to 25 for 3.

What an amazing partnership between a superstar and a rockstar!! We enjoyed the show :) @YUVSTRONG12 @msdhoni #INDvENG pic.twitter.com/mU8o3iJfZi

Dhoni hit six sixes in his innings, becoming the fifth to reach 200 sixes - the 200th was a massive hit over the long-on boundary.
