#7 Andrew Flintoff vs Yuvraj Singh
The inaugural edition of the ICC World Twenty in 2007 witnessed some amazing performances by the Indians who under the captaincy of MS Dhoni went on to lift the World Cup title. In India’s second match of the super eight stage against England, Yuvraj and Flintoff were involved in an onfield brawl which resulted in the English all-rounder ruing it for the rest of his life.
Yuvraj was new to the crease when Flintoff went up to him and got into an on-field banter with the southpaw. Yuvraj later revealed what Flintoff had said to him which urged him to achieve a very rare feat in the very next over. The conversation goes like,
Flintoff: Those were f***ing ridiculous shotsYuvraj: F*** youFlintoff: Excuse me?Yuvraj: You heard what I saidFlintoff: I will cut your throat offYuvraj: You see this bat in my hand. You know where I am gonna hit you with this bat?
The man to suffer was Stuart Broad who was belted for 6 monstrous sixes all around Durban in the next over with Yuvraj also bringing up the fastest fifty in limited overs cricket in only 12 balls.
