The moment Yuvraj Singh hit six sixes to Stuart Broad in the ICC 2007 World T20, he scripted a chapter in Indian cricket history that will be remembered for decades.

In a video shared by Star Sports, Robin Uthappa spoke about the 6 sixes that Yuvraj hit against Broad as India locked horns with England. Yuvraj had arrived on the pitch after Uthappa's dismissal. Though Uthappa didn't see Flintoff toy with Yuvi on the pitch, as he had gone inside to change, upon his return he knew that the southpaw was pumped to do something special.
