Former Indian batsman, Yuvraj Singh, recently revealed about not b🍬eing 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 came in the 2007 World Cup game in Durban is one for the folklor👍e.
However, his six-hitting spree came in the aftermath of getting hit for five maximu꧂ms from a single-over bowled in the 2007 England-Ind꧋ia 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 fo𒁏r 36 in one over.
He also expressed his surprise when the t𒆙hen Indian captain, Rahul Dravid handed him ꦯthe ball in the final over.
“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 days,” Yuvraj commented on Sony Tenꦑ 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 incide⛦nt.
“The calls and mes🎀sages from my friends after that were 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 th🐼e words spoken to Mascarenhas after achieving his heroic feat.
“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 sa💫me team,” Yuvraj concluded. Interestingly, India won both the matches, at Oval and Kingsmead, Durbওan.
