On this day in 2007, India’s Yuvraj Singh became the first T20I batter to smash six sixes in an over.<\/p>\n
South Africa’s Herschelle Gibbs had done so in ODIs.<\/p>\n
India were 171\/3 in 18 overs after choosing to bat first against England in their second Super Eight match at Durban during the T20 World Cup.<\/p>\n
After exchanging heated words with all-rounder Andrew Flintoff, Yuvraj was all fired up. Stuart Broad, who came in to bowl the 19th over, was smashed for 6,6,6,6,6,6.<\/p>\n
With this, Yuvi also reached his half-century in just 12 balls, the fastest in T20I cricket history. (West Indies great Chris Gayle and Afghanistan batter Hazratullah Zazai now jointly hold the record with Yuvraj Singh).<\/em><\/p>\n
