Even on his worst day, Stuart Broad wouldn’t have imagined what transpired during India’s encounter against England in the 2007 ICC World T20. The crowd at Durban got to witness six sixes off Yuvraj Singh’s willow, with Broad being on the receiving end.

The Englishman tried to stop the flow of runs with every skill he had, but the ball kept disappearing over the rope. Broad was young, raw and the carnage could easily have dented his confidence, but instead he steadied himself so that he could face further challenges.

In 2016, he became the number one bowler in Test cricket and currently has 368 wickets in the longest version of the sport. With James Anderson, he has troubled the best in the business over the years and has been instrumental in several of England’s victories.
