Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh revealed what England's Andrew Flintoff had said to him during their verbal spat in the 2007 T20 World Cup.

The inaugural edition of the tournament is remembered for many things. From Misbah Ul Haq's cheeky shot in the final over against India and Yuvraj smoking the ball into the stands for six sixes off Stuart Broad in an over after his animated verbal chat with Flintoff.

Yuvraj recalled the moment when Flintoff provoked him after he had smacked a couple of boundaries in his over. "Freddie bowled two good balls, he bowled a length ball, which went for a boundary, and a good yorker, which I was hit over the point.

When I was walking after taking a single, he said, "F... shit shots," Yuvraj said in the Club Prairie Fire podcast. Flintoff didn't hold back and continued to provoke Yuvraj, which led to an altercation between the two, forcing the umpire to step in. "He repeated that on my face.
