Dashing all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has made a great comeback to the Indian Team for the upcoming series against Australia. India will play seven ODIs and a T20 against Australia to be held later this year. Yuvraj last played an ODI on January 27 against England.
Yuvraj, who 
had beaten cancer to stage a comeback, did well initially, but was dropped from the team due to poor form and fitness. He worked hard to do well in List A matches and Challenger Trophy. He scored 123, 40 and 61 against the West Indies A and then scored an 84 against India Red while playing for India Blue in Challenger Trophy.
