India’s stormy batsmen
Yuvraj Singh’s international career has had many ups and downs, but in his cricket career spanning 19 years, he remained the troubleshooter of Team India for more than a decade, he used to be quite a stormy batsman. He has won many such matches for India, which was very difficult to win. He has done many feats not only with the bat but also with the ball. He was one of the few cricketers in the country who got a chance to play in all three international formats (Test, ODI and T20).
6 sixes in 6 balls
Yuvraj Singh has made crores of people crazy with his all-round performance. People still yearn to see him on the field. At the same time, even today one of his innings remains in the mind of the people. This is the innings of Yuvi, in which he hit 6 sixes in six balls. On 19 September 2007, Yuvraj Singh hit 6 sixes in all 6 balls of an over off Stuart Broad of England in the first T20 World Cup played in South Africa. After achieving this feat, he became the second batsman in international cricket after African stalwart Herschelle Gibbs to hit six sixes in an over.

Actually something happened like this was the 18th over of India’s innings in this match, Andrew Flintoff was bowling and he had heard with Yuvraj. Because he had made some lewd gestures to Yuvi. But, Broad had to bear the brunt of his gestures. He had brought the sari ball of his over out of the field by blowing it in the air. On the other hand, captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, standing at the other end of the crease, just kept looking at Yuvi.
