'Yuvraj Singh could have hit seven sixes in my over', Stuart Broad made a sensational revelation
T20 World Cup In the match against England in 2007, Yuvraj Singh made his name in the pages of history by hitting 6 sixes in an over against Stuart Broad. Indian fans still remember these 6 sixes of Yuvraj, while Stuart Broad would hardly want to remember that moment again.
However, now Broad himself has revealed that he was lucky that one of his deliveries was not given a no-ball during Yuvraj Singh's six sixes in the ICC T20 World Cup 2007 in South Africa. Otherwise, Yuvraj could have hit seven sixes in his over instead of 6. In the Super 8 game in Durban, Yuvraj hit six sixes in Stuart Broad's over, which was the 19th over of the Indian innings.
The Indian team scored 218/4 in the stipulated 20 overs in that match, while Yuvraj played a fiery innings of 58 runs in 16 balls. In that match, the English team lost the match by 18 runs and was eliminated from the tournament and India won the T20 World Cup title for the first time by defeating Pakistan in the final.
After this innings, Yuvraj also batted explosively in the semi-final match against Australia and scored 70 runs in 30 balls. He scored runs in the tournament at an average of 30 and a strike rate of 194.73. Broad gave 60 runs in his four overs against India without taking any wicket. Now Broad told Sky Sports that he never even saw the highlights of that match. Broad said, “I never saw the highlights of that match. I was lucky because if there was a no-ball, Yuvraj Singh could have hit seven sixes in an over.”
