The left-handed batsman displayed an incredible show of power hitting when he scored six sixes in one over off England’s fast bowler Stuart Broad. It was the very first time ever for a cricketer to do this in T20 cricket and it turned out to be a defining moment for this format of the game. Although seventeen years have elapsed since that knock, experts and fans are still astonished at how gigantic it was; thus Yuvraj took to social media to post a special message
Yuvraj tweeted on X (previously Twitter) alongside video clips showing how he hit six sixes against England: “Always thankful representing my country through moments like these.”
