The Twitter community went crazy as Yuvraj Singh stamped his authority over the English attack, with a gritty yet flamboyant century. The Indian side was pegged back as Chris Woakes knocked over the top order, and it was then left to the old horses, Dhoni and Yuvraj to help India claw back into the fixture. And boy did the duo deliver.

Yuvraj Singh went on to score his century, turning back the clock, using his high backlift and decimating the English attack with ease.
This is how the Twitter community reacted:

Many wondered why @YUVSTRONG12 was brought back & whether he was over the hill. Yuvi just sprinted up the hill & held up the tricolour.
