Yuvraj Singh – 61st innings
The former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh was one of the most successful players in international cricket history. During his international career (2000-2017), he played very important roles to help his national team to achieve many greatest successes, including winning the ICC World T20 2007 and ICC Cricket World Cup 2011. Due to his impressive all-round performances, Yuvraj also won the Player of the Tournament award in the ICC CWC 2011.
In his ODI career, the left-handed batsman hit 14 centuries and 52 half-centuries in 304 matches (278 innings). However, his first ODI century came in April 2003, almost three years later of his ODI debut. The middle-order batsman Yuvraj hit his maiden ODI century (102*) during his 61st ODI innings when India were facing the hosts Bangladesh at Dhaka on 11th April 2003.
Before his first ODI century, Yuvraj hit 12 ODI fifties, including one unbeaten nervous-ninety (98*).
