Yuvraj, a left-hander, gave the cricket world an experience to remember when he avenged a sledge from England’s Andrew Flintoff smashing six consecutive sixes in Stuart Broad’s over during the 2007 T20 World Cup.
On September 19, 2007, at Kingsmead, he smashed six sixes in a single over of Stuart Broad. India batted first and scored 218 runs in 20 overs. Gambhir and Sehwag made a blering start as both of them managed to score fifties. Just before Broad’s over, Yuvraj hit two consecutive boundaries off Andrew Flintoff and had a verbal spat.

After the heated conversation, Stuart Broad had to face the consequence and he was hit for six sixes in an over Yuvi. He took only 12 balls to score his half-century. His fifty was the quickest in the hory of the shortest format.
In 2019, Yuvraj retired from all forms of cricket. In his international career, Yuvraj had played 304 ODIs, 58 T20Is and 40 Tests. He played crucial roles in both the 2007 T20 World Cup victory and the 2011 ODI World Cup victory, in which he was named Man of the Tournament for his all-round contribution of 362 runs and 15 wickets.
