Former Indian batsman, Yuvraj Singh😼, recently revealed about not being able to sleep for 15 days after ex-England all-rounder Dimitri Mascarenhas 🃏hit him for five sixes in an over.
Yuvi’s astonishing feat of hitting six-sixes in a single over off England seamer Stuart Broad which ಞcame in the ๊2007 World Cup game in Durban is one for the folklore.
However, his six-hitting spree came in the aftermath🐽 of getting hit for five maximums fr♎om a single-over bowled in the 2007 England-India ODI match at Oval.
In a recent conversation, Yuvi admitted that he could not sleep for 15 🌺days straight and even spilled the words spoken to him after hitting Broad for 36 in one over.
He also expressed his surprise when the then Indian captain, Rahul Dravid h﷽anded him the ball in the final overꦛ.
“I was playing a game at the Oval, and I don’t know why the captain [Dravid] gave me to bowl the last over. Dimitri Mascarenhas hit me for five sixes in six balls. I’m glad he didn’t hit me for six sixes and I couldn’t sleep for the next 15 day🌠s,” Yuvraj commented on Sony Ten Pit Stop’s show.
Then, the Punjab stalwart registered his disappointment after a number of threat calls received ✨by♍ his friends and family, post the incident.
“The calls and messages from my friends after that w🌞ere really disheartening. I never got so many calls when I scored a hundred,” he recalled🌸.
Moreover, Yuvraj found his moment of vengeance in the subsequent T20 World Cup in South Africa. The left-hander also disclosed the words spoken to Mascarenhas after achieving his heroic fea🗹t.
“Then I remember when I hit six sixes, I did not look at Broad or anyone, I looked at Dimitri and said, ‘This is over now, this is🐻 gone to bed’. It was very satisfying that I could do it against the same team,” Yuvraj concluded. Interestingly, India won both the matches, at Oval and Kingsmead, Durban.
