Yuvraj Singh had played numerous match-winning knocks for India since he made his debut in 2000. Out of all those magnificent outings, there is one particular knock that has a separate fan base, i.e., the six sixes to English quick Stuart Broad in the Inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup in 2007.

It was a crucial face-off against Andrew Flintoff led England in Durban as the men-in-blue had already lost to tournament opener New Zealand. Star openers Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir gave India a superb start and when Yuvraj strode out to the middle, there was tension.

Just before Yuvi did the wonder, he had a heated conversation with Flintoff but poor Broad had to face the wrath.

In the 19th over, Yuvraj smashed Stuart Broad and became only the fourth player after Sir Garfield Sobers, Ravi Shastri and Herschelle Gibbs to hit six sixes in one over. While Sobers and Shastri achieved it in a first-class game, Gibbs did this marvel against the Netherlands in the 2007 World Cup.

Yuvraj blasted a fifty off 12 balls, the fastest in Twenty20 history and India won the game by 18 runs.

Almost 12 years after that unforgettable incident, Yuvraj brought the curtains down on a roller-coaster international career.

On this occasion, Broad took to his social media handle to share a picture form that T20 World Cup match in Durban and wished the dynamic left-hander a happy retirement.
