10 special innings by Yuvraj Singh in ODIs and T20Is

3. 58 vs England (Durban, 2007 World T20)

Yuvraj Singh hits six sixes off Stuart Broad of England in one over for his 58 runs off 16 balls during the ICC Twenty20 Cricket World Championship Super Eights match between England and India

Andrew Flintoff’s heated exchange with the fiery Punjab player backfired on his side big time as the left-hander proceeded to exhibit a ferocious display of power hitting at Kingsmead on a cool September evening at the first ever Twenty20 World Cup against England.

Stuart Broad didn’t know what lay in store for him, and at the end of his spell, looked like a kid who had seen too many monsters under the bed.

Yuvraj, in those six deliveries, hammered a record 36 runs or, to put it in simple terms, he hit a huge six off every single ball of the over. Broad bowled short, Yuvraj flicked; when he bowled full, the left-hander took his right foot out of the way and sent the ball into the stands.

His display of clean hitting was such that captain Collingwood was left scratching his head, Flintoff bemused, and Broad on the verge of tears.

For the record, India posted a 200-plus score, winning the game by 18 runs.
