<p>Yuvraj Singh and Mahendra Singh Dhoni turned back father time on Thursday with two scintillating centuries that gave every one goosebumps and made them go into nostalgia mode.</p>
<p>India recovered from a disastrous handsomely to smash 381 for six in the second One-day International against England at Cuttack's Barabati Stadium on Thursday.</p>
<p>India were in trouble at 25 for three, when Yuvraj and Dhoni came together for their vintage performance. Yuvraj (150 off 127 balls) and Dhoni (134 off 122) forged a 256-run partnership to put their team in a position of strength from a precarious one.</p>
<p>The two veterans used their years of experience to rescue India after England opted to field.</p>
<p>Yuvraj was on fire from the first ball he faced as he hammered 21 fours and three sixes in his career-best knock in ODIs. The southpaw, brought back into the national team, could not have silenced his detractors in a better way as got to his 14th ODI hundred, which was his first since the 2011 World Cup.</p>
<p>On the other end of the 22-yards, Dhoni was in his element and played a typical innings as he first took time to settle down and then cut loose to tear the opposition bowlers apart.</p>
<p>Dhoni too crossed the three figure mark after a while with his last hundred coming way back in 2013 when he struck an unbeaten 139 against Australia at Mohali.</p>
<p>He ended up hammering 10 fours and half a dozen sixes, scoring his 10th ODI hundred in the process and first since handing over captaincy to Virat Kohli.</p>
<p>Twitter went into overdrive in praising the dynamic duo.</p>
