Yuvraj Singh, one of India’s most celebrated all-rounders, remains etched in cricketing history for smashing six consecutive sixes in an over during the 2007 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. The feat came against England’s Stuart Broad, making Yuvraj the first cricketer to achieve this remarkable milestone in the T20 format. His explosive performance was the highlight of India’s clash with England in Durban, following a heated exchange with Andrew Flintoff.
Recently, the iconic video of Yuvraj’s six sixes crossed 96 million views on the ICC’s official YouTube channel. The former cricketer addressed this milestone during an episode of the podcast Club Prairie Fire, hosted by Michael Vaughan and Adam Gilchrist. Yuvraj humorously discussed the unforgettable moment and how Flintoff’s remarks fired him up before Broad’s over. “He [Flintoff] kind of spat at me, and I told him, ‘You see this bat, you know where it’s gonna go,’” Yuvraj recalled.

During the podcast, Vaughan revealed the staggering number of views the video had garnered, jokingly asking Yuvraj if he had ever invoiced the ICC for it. To this, Yuvraj responded with a laugh, “I would have made a lot of money.”

Since his retirement from international cricket in 2019, Yuvraj has focused on mentoring young cricketers. Among his mentees, Abhishek Sharma has emerged as a prominent figure, thanks to his impressive performances in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Under Yuvraj’s guidance, Sharma has made his way into the Indian T20 squad, continuing the legacy of fearless batting that Yuvraj exemplified throughout his career.
