Watch: When Yuvraj Singh hit six sixes off Stuart Broad exactly eight years ago!

On this day in 2007, swashbuckling Indian batsman Yuvraj Singh created history by hitting six sixes in an over off English bowler Stuart Broad in a Twenty 20 match at Kingsmead.

New Delhi: On this day in 2007, swashbuckling Indian batsman Yuvraj Singh created history by hitting six sixes in an over off English bowler Stuart Broad in a ICC World T20 match at Kingsmead.

A heated exchange with all-rounder Andrew Flintoff in the previous over made Yuvraj furious. But this time his bat did the taking and poor Broad was at the receiving end.

The left-hander managed to hit the ball from the meat of the bat on all six occasions, treating the young pacer with utter disdain.

It was the fourth time that a batsman had managed to hit six sixes in an over.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) also took to micro-blogging site Twitter to remember the memorable occasion.
