Even as Ram V Sutar, the sculptor behind Sardar Patel's 182 metres statue on the Sabarmati in Gujarat, is feted and lionised, there's another artist who has done challenging work in the heart of Delhi and carved granite stones to immortalise the names of 34,884 martyrs in the police and para military forces.

Yuvraj dealt in boundaries as much as he favoured taking the aerial route. His innings had four fours and seven sixes in all. Helped by skipper MS Dhoni at the other end, he pelted both the spinners as well as the pa...

Yuvraj brought back the memories of 2007 T20 World Cup where he punished Stuart Broad with six sixes in an over. Though, he didn't repeat the feat, the impact was no lesser.
