The first memory that comes into the mind when one thinks of Stuart Broad is how Yuvraj Singh shattered his confidence by hitting him for six sixes in an over in a Twenty20 international. From there on, Stuart Broad orchestrated a spectacular turnaround of his career from where there was no looking back.

While he may not have had an impressive limited overs career, Broad is one of the mainstays of England's current bowling attack in red ball cricket. Broad's breakthrough series came in Ashes 2009 against the arch rivals Australia, finishing the series with 18 wickets at an average of 30.22. He was ruled out of the successful Ashes series in 2010 in Australia after the 2nd test with a stomach muscle injury.
The speedster came back strongly against India in 2011 in the home series, bagging 25 wickets at an average of 13.84.
Stuart Broad remains one of the foremost contenders to eclipse McGrath as the leading wicket-taker in tests if his body permits. He currently has 417 scalps in 118 tests.
