SLAM BANG YUVRAJ

-

2007: India v England, Durban

Poor Stuart Broad. He had to pay the price for teammate Andrew Flintoff’s sledging of Yuvraj Singh. Before the start of Broad’s over, the dashing left-hander had hit the England all-rounder for two successive fours. The first ball from Broad went over longon deep into the stands. The seamer then continued to disappear into the stands at different parts of the field — over square leg, long-off, backward point, deep midwicket and long-on again. With those six consecutiv­e sixes, Yuvraj raced to 50 off just 12 balls. It remains the fastest fifty in internatio­nal cricket across formats.
