5 reasons why Yuvraj Singh's 6 sixes became more famous than Herschelle Gibbs' 6 sixes

#2 Yuvraj battered Stuart Broad's deliveries while Gibbs achieved this feat against an unknown Daan van Bunge

Daan van Bunge

Daan van Bunge was an all-rounder who rose to fame in the 2007 World Cup after becoming the first bowler to be smashed for 6 sixes in an over in a World Cup match. The only wrong thing that Bunge did here was he did not have a solid background or a fearsome bowling record which would scare the opposition batsman.

On the other hand, Stuart Broad entered the ICC WT20 as a promising rookie pacer and being pushed by many to be England's next premier fast bowler. Also, to hit a spinner out of the park is comparatively easier than sending a 140+ delivery for a maximum. Had Herschelle Gibbs hit 6 sixes against an established bowler, perhaps he would have stood a chance to keep his record prominent.
