WATCH: Yuvraj Singh creates record 16 years ago by smashing six sixes in an over

On this day, September 19, 2007, former India batter Yuvraj Singh created history. He smashed six sixes in one over in the T20 World Cup 2007. In a match of the Super Eight match vs England, he became the first batter to hit six sixes in T20I cricket.

Last year he himself posted a video of him sitting with his 8-month-old son Orion Keech Singh in his lap and watching the historic feat on its 15th anniversary. The southpaw also scored the fastest-ever fifty in T20I history and the record that still stands. He reached the fifty-run mark in just 12 balls.

Here's the video

Yuvraj Singh blasts Stuart Broad for six sixes

The incident happened in the 19th over of the first innings and Yuvraj exchanged some words with English all-rounder Andrew Flintoff. This heated moment backlashed against the veteran pacer Stuart Broad. As he faced some brutal hitting from the Punjab-born batter.

The stage was set for the 41-year-old batter after Indian openers Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag gave the Men in Blue a good start. Both of them scored half-centuries and added a 136-run partnership for the first wicket. Yuvraj got out scoring 58 off 16 deliveries hitting seven sixes and three fours.

In a recent interview after this year's Ashes, the former pacer said, "I started building my 'warrior mode' that I call it after that experience. Ultimately, I wish that didn't happen. What really helped me that it was a dead rubber, so I didn't feel like I'd knocked us out of the World Cup. But I think it steeled me up to make me the competitor I am to this day, and has driven me forward a huge amount. I'd rushed my preparation, I didn't have any pre-ball routine, I didn't have any focus."

After this innings Broad's legacy did not disappear, he went on to take over 600 Test wickets and was a key member of England's 2010 T20 World Cup-winning side. He announced his retirement after the end of the fifth Ashes Test at The Oval in 2023.
