Broad has recently told how he was saved from getting hit by 7 consecutive sixes from Yuvraj Singh?
Former England cricket team fast bowler Stuart Broad has recently reacted to Yuvraj Singh conceding six consecutive sixes in the first T20 World Cup of 2007. Broad says that it could have been 7 sixes, it was good that he did not bowl a single no ball.
It is worth mentioning that this historic moment was witnessed 17 years ago on 19 September 2007 in the Super 8 match between India and England. Stuart Broad came to bowl the 19th over of the Indian innings, and during this Yuvraj, who was on strike, hit sixes in 6 consecutive balls and thus etched his name in the pages of history. But when Broad was asked about this moment after 17 years, he said that he would never want to see this moment again.
Stuart Broad gave a big response
Let us tell you that while remembering this moment of the 2007 T20 World Cup, Stuart Broad said in the commentary panel of Sky Sports – I would never want to see it again. I have to admit that I was lucky that I did not bowl a single no ball there, otherwise it could have been seven sixes. I never saw it, never. So thanks for reminding me of that moment after 17 years.

On the other hand, Yuvraj finished his innings with 58 runs in 16 balls, helping India post a mammoth total of 218/4 in 20 overs. Despite chasing the target confidently, England fell short by 18 runs, which eventually led to their early exit from the tournament. Building on the momentum from this win, the Indian team won the first T20 World Cup title by defeating Pakistan in a thrilling final.
