Yuvraj Singh SIX Sixes [Cricket Records]

November 19, 2011

Andrew Flintoff sledged Yuvi just before 19th over

Yuvraj Singh is the only batsman to hit six sixes in an over of a twenty20 cricket match held at Durban on 19^th September, 2007 and the second batsman to hit SIX sixes in the history of international cricket. Yuvraj came in to bat when Indians had a brilliant opening partnership of 136 runs but lost both Gambhir and Sehwag in quick succession and then Robin Uthappa in space of 3 overs. Yuvi came to the crease in 17^th over to accelerate the run rate of Indian innings. But before the 19^th over, Yuvraj had an ugly argument with Andrew Flintoff which in turn made him angry. It was the outburst of Yuvraj Singh that made him hit 6 sixes in an over to Stuart Broad. This helped him to reach his half century off just 12 balls.
