"Joy to behold": Twitterati enthralled by Yuvraj Singh hitting four sixes off Mahendra Nagamootoo over in Road Safety World Series

Yuvraj Singh hitting four sixes: The former Indian all-rounder has now hit four sixes in an over twice in as many matches.

During the first semi-final of the ongoing Road Safety World Series between India Legends and West Indies Legends in Raipur, India Legends all-rounder Yuvraj Singh continued on his six-hitting spree to entertain one and all.

Coming in to bat at No. 5 in the 15th over, it was on the eighth delivery that he faced that Yuvraj hit his first boundary off West Indies Legends spinner Sulieman Benn.

Yuvraj, who received a couple of reprieves in the 18th over, made sure that the opposition paid the price for the same as he hit as many as four sixes off spinner Mahendra Nagamootoo in the penultimate over.

Having hit three consecutive sixes, Yuvraj hinted his multiple fans regarding once again going for six sixes in an over but it wasn’t to be as he missed the fourth delivery which was bowled fast and wide.

On the second last delivery of the over, Yuvraj hit another six equaling his feat of hitting four sixes in an over against South Africa Legends previously. While Yuvraj might not have hit six sixes in an over, he sure did hit another two in the last over to hit six sixes in the innings.

Having scored a hard-hitting 49* (20) with the help of a four and six sixes, Yuvraj powered his team to 218/3 in 20 overs. Other than Yuvraj, the likes of Sachin Tendulkar (65) and all-rounder Yusuf Pathan (37*) also contributed significantly as India Legends scored the highest-ever score in the tournament.
