That shot got the Indian fans jumping and the England supporters in shock. Later, the left-hander revealed that the shot was a mistimed one. Broad churned out a full-length delivery on and around the middle stump and Yuvraj deposited him over the mid-wicket boundary. Interestingly, the shot, which helped him to reach the milestone, wasn’t a clean one by any means. Yuvraj wasn’t even finding the middle of the bat, yet was able to pepper the boundary with ease and elegance. The speedster tried all sort of lengths only to see the leather disappear over the ropes. Prior to that over, Yuvraj was charged up by Andrew Flintoff and Broad ended up facing the former’s wrath.

Apart from the fact that Yuvraj was the first and the only batsman to achieve the feat in T20Is, there are other facts surrounding it that haven’t gotten enough attention. The record is still intact, though Chris Gayle equalled him, playing for Melbourne Renegades in the BBL. It also helped him to the fastest fifty in T20 cricket off 12 balls. Yuvraj smashed six sixes off Broad in the 19th over of the innings. In the Group E match against Paul Collingwood’s England at the Kingsmead in Durban, the Punjab-born went berserk and treated the crowd to a spectacle. However, Yuvraj Singh, the former Indian batsman, had other ideas. Stuart Broad is an out and out fast bowler and it’s not an easy task to strike a fast bowler of his quality to the cleaners. Not even the optimists would have seen that coming.
