Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh turned back the clock on Saturday (March 13) when he played a sensational knock against South Africa Legends in the 13th match of the ongoing Road Safety🤡 World Series 2021.
The Chandigarh-lad scored a quickfire 52 runs from just 22 deliveries wiဣth the hel꧋p of 2 fours and 6 sixes.
During the 18th over of India Legends’ innings, Yuvi reminded many of his 2007 World T20 heroics of 6 sixes in one over when he slammed seamer Zander de Bruyn for four back-to-back hits in the s♚tands. Several fans believed that Yuvraj would once again replicate his 2007 World Cup act, h♒owever, he did not do that.
After the game, Yuvraj revealed that he wanted to hit the fifth six but🤡 changed his mind because, during that sit♚uation, it was important for him to have the strike in the next two overs in order to take India Legends to a massive total.
“I was looking to hit the fifth consecutive six because I remember that there was one dot ball in the over. And I was waiting for the bowler to bowl in my areas. So after the fourth sixes, I was looking for fifth six, but there were also two overs to go, so I decided to rotate the strike and bat till the end to have a big score,” said Yuvraj as quoted by ANI.
“The wicket was really good, and the South had won the last game. So I wanted to bat till the end and am happy to do that,” he added.
Yuvraj remained unbeaten on 52 and guided India Legends to a massive 204/3 in their allotted 20 overs. Before Yuvraj’s magnificent inning, skipper Sachin Tendulkar also entertained supporters with 37-ball 60.
In reply, South Africa Legends could only manage to post 148/7 in their stipulated 20 overs, to lose the contest by 56 runs.
