New Delhi: It was indeed a virtuoso performance from Yuvraj Singh yesterday. The veteran all-rounder helped defending champions Sunrisers Hyderabad beat last year's finalist Royal Challengers Bangalore by 35 runs in the 2017 season opener.

Yuvraj, 35, came out to bat at just the perfect time with SRH at 93 for 2 in the 11th over. He didn't took long to find the middle of the bat, but was let off in the 13th over – dropped by Sreenath Aravind at square leg of the bowling of Aniketh Chaudhary.


Except that blip, Yuvraj was in complete control. He reached fifty in 23 balls, and made 62 from just 27 balls. It's his fastest fifty in IPL, having scored two 24-ball fifties in 2014 for RCB.


But that's not all he did yesterday.


Sunrisers celebrated the win in team hotel, and Yuvi was caught dancing with fellow team-mates.



Strangely, a video of the celebration was shared online by Harbhajan Singh, who is with Mumbai Indians in Pune for their first game of the season, against Rising Pune Supergiant.
