===2002 NatWest Series===
After winning the ODI series in the West Indies 2–1, where Yuvraj managed scores of only 1 and 10, the Indian team toured England in June for the NatWest triangular series, featuring England, Sri Lanka, and India, and a four-match Test series against the hosts. In the first match at [[Lord's]], Yuvraj won the man of the match for his all-round performance (3/39 and 64*) as India successfully chased down England's total of 271.<ref>{{cite web|title=NatWest Series - 2nd match England v India|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/66284.html|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=16 February 2014}}</ref> In the next match against Sri Lanka, he scored 31 and shared a crucial 60-run sixth-wicket partnership with [[Mohammad Kaif]] to set up another successful run-chase.<ref>{{cite web|title=NatWest Series - 3rd match India v Sri Lanka|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/66285.html|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=16 February 2014}}</ref> India's next match against England was washed out due to rain after Yuvraj had scored an unbeaten 40 off 19 balls to take India to 285/4 in their 50 overs.<ref>{{cite web|title=NatWest Series - 5th match England v India|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/66287.html|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=16 February 2014}}</ref> Yuvraj's knock of 37, along with a fifty from [[Rahul Dravid]], helped India recover from 59/4 to reach a target of 188 posted by Sri Lanka.<ref>{{cite web|title=NatWest Series - 6th match India v Sri Lanka|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/66288.html|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=16 February 2014}}</ref> This win eliminated Sri Lanka from the series with another round of matches still to be played. Yuvraj had scores of 5 and 8 in the final round of matches but proved to be useful with the ball as he picked one wicket in each of the two games. At the end of the round-robin matches, India topped the points table with 19 points while England finished second with 15 points.<ref>{{cite web|title=NatWest Series, 2002 / Points table Tweet|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/series/61110.html?view=pointstable|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=16 February 2014}}</ref>

The final was played at Lord's on 13 July between India and England. After winning the toss and electing to bat first, England posted a daunting total of 325/5 in 50 overs. In reply, India was struggling at 146/5 at the end of 24 overs, when Kaif joined Yuvraj at the crease. The pair initially stabilised the innings and later scored at a brisk rate. The pair shared a partnership of 121 runs for the sixth wicket which came to an end when Yuvraj was dismissed for 69 off 63 balls when he top-edged a sweep shot in the 42nd over off the bowling of [[Paul Collingwood]] resulting in a simple catch to [[Alex Tudor]] at short fine leg. India went on to win the game by two wickets with three balls to spare.<ref>{{cite web|title=NatWest Series - Final England v India|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/66292.html|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=16 February 2014}}</ref> This was India's first win in the final of an ODI tournament since 2000, after nine consecutive defeats.<ref>{{cite web |last=Booth |first=Lawrence |date=29 August 2007 |title=NatWest Series 2002, Final: England v India |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/154994.html |access-date=16 February 2014 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref> This win is regarded as one of India's greatest victories in ODI cricket.<ref>{{cite web|title=Sourav Ganguly reminisces about famous 2002 NatWest Series win at Lord's|url=http://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/features/specials/193467-sourav-ganguly-reminisces-about-famous-2002-natwest-win|publisher=NDTV Sports|access-date=16 February 2014}}</ref>
