Cricket / Yuvraj Singh 6 Sixes in an Over vs England 15 years ago 2007 T20 World cup Stuart Broad Andrew Flintoff

Cricket | September 19 is one of the memorable days in the history of Indian cricket. It was on this day 15 years ago that Yuvraj Singh played a historic innings by hitting 6 sixes in an over of Stuart Broad. But do you know that if Andrew Flintop had not messed with Yuvraj Singh, then this Indian player could hardly have achieved this feat in his career. Actually, when Yuvraj hit 6 sixes in 6 balls of Stuart Broad, he was heard after Flintoff an over before that. After this argument, Yuvraj was furious and vented his anger in Broad's over.

Broad was punished for Flintoff's mistake

When Andrew Flintoff came to bowl the 18th over, Yuvjraj Singh hit two fours in his over. Flintoff did not like this and he went to Yuvraj Singh. During this there was a lot of debate between the two players and other players including the umpire also had to come to the rescue. Yuvraj Singh was very angry after this incident.
