“Couldn’t have found a better partner to watch this together with after 15 years,” Yuvraj Singh tweeted.

On 19th September 2007, Yuvraj Singh became the first player in the history of T20 cricket to hit six sixes in an over. During the ICC T20 World Cup 2007 match between India and England, Yuvraj smashed English pacer Stuart Broad for six sixes in the 19th over of the Indian innings.

Ahead of the over, Yuvraj engaged in a verbal spat with the English all-rounder Andrew Flintoff, and Yuvraj agrees that the spat encouraged him more to smash those sixes. It is to be noted that English batter Dimitri Mascarenhas smashed Yuvraj for five sixes earlier that year.

Yuvraj smashed his half-century in just 12 balls against England which is still the fastest in T20I cricket. The Indian team scored 218 runs in the 1st innings, and they won the game by 18 runs in the end. India won the inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup in 2007, and Yuvraj played a key part in that tournament as well.
