On this day in 2007, yuvraj singh lit up the Kingsmead with 6 sixes in an over throughout a group match against england in South Africa's debut World Twenty20. Before the match, india was in a precarious situation in the competition, needing a win over england to maintain their hopes of reaching the semi-finals in Durban alive. Yuvraj along with ms dhoni was aiming for a good showing to the innings with the runs at 171/3 at the conclusion of the 18th over. Yuvraj was charged up after a verbal altercation with Andrew Flintoff in the preceding over. Yuvraj had only a month before surrendered 30 hits in an over facing Dimitri Mascarenhas throughout India's visit to England.


The lefty from punjab did the speaking with his hitting in the 19th delivery of the game, smashing 6 sixes in a row against Stuart Broad. The first was a tremendous hit over broad long-on, followed by a swipe over the deep line to a full throw, a hook over square leg, and a tremendous hit past backwards square leg. Yuvraj recounted the full event concerning Flintoff's sledge, which ignited the former indian all-rounder, in an interview last year.
