Whenever Yuvraj Singh’s name will be mentioned, Stuart Broad is more than likely to get a mention too. And the reason behind it is not a secret. Who can forget that night in Durban when Yuvraj Singh had taken Broad to the cleaners in one of the most scarcely-believable spectacles seen in the history of this beautiful game.
It had all started when Andrew Flintoff had riled up Yuvraj Singh and the price was paid by Broad. A furious Yuvraj had vented his anger on Broad and had hit him for six back-to-back sixes. Broad tried each and every weapon present in his armoury but just could not stop Yuvraj. Yuvraj hit the England star all around the park to create history. In that game, he had crossed the 50-run mark in just 12 balls and still holds the record of fastest fifty in T20Is.
