Yuvraj’s sixes- the video.
Posted by Z on September 20th, 2007

Its not surprising that the video of Yuvraj Singh’s has got more than 250,000 hits in less than 18 hours. In a brilliant display of power hitting, Yuvraj absolutely decimated Stuart Broad’s bowling.

Yuvraj started with a majestic heave over midwicket, flicked the next one over squareleg (my favourite shot of the six). The third ball went soaring over extra cover and the fourth was dismissed over backward point as Broad went round the wicket. Yuvraj got down on one knee and swatted the fifth ball of the over over midwicket and finally smacked the sixth over mid on.
Magical stuff!
Guardian’s Over by Over Report.
19th over: India 207-3 (Dhoni 7, Yuvraj Singh 50) Yuvraj Singh had to be restrained by umpire Doctrove from getting involved in some verbals with Flintoff at the end of the last over and decides to take out his ever-present anger on Broad instead, absolutely CLATTERING his first ball over backward square for six. Incredible. And the next ball disappears for six as well, this time courtesy of a pick-up/sweep. The camera pans on to Flintoff, who - truth be told - looks a little sheepish. And then Yuvraj lifts Broad’s third ball over extra cover for six more! Three in three! And it’s four in four as Broad serves up a full-toss that is spanked over backward point. FOUR IN FOUR! And now it’s FIVE OUT OF OUT OF FIVE, this time with an almighty slog-sweep. Stunning stuff! Yuvraj was hit for five sixes in five balls by Mascarenhas at The Oval recently. Now he’s taking revenge. And he’s done it! SIX SIXES IN AN OVER with a mow over long-on. Quite staggering! And that’s his fifty off 12 balls!
