September 19, 2007 saw history in the making. Gary Sobers, Ravi Shastri and Herschelle Gibbs had achieved the feat earlier, but it was yet to be done in the fastest format - Twenty20.

To clear the boundary off every ball is not something easily done. Yet, Yuvraj Singh did it with tremendous ease against England in the World T20.
He was batting on 14 and India were 171/3 in 18 overs when Stuart Broad came on to bowl. The southpaw had just had an altercation with Andrew Flintoff and needed to let fly at something. Unfortunately for Broad, he was in the firing line.

The next 6 balls were a bit of a blur. All clean hits, there was never a doubt once the sound came from the bat that the leather was out of the ground.
Incidentally the 6th big hit gave Yuvraj his 50 off just 12 balls, a T20 world record. India would go on to win the title 5 days later.
It was a day fans and players will never forget. Certainly Yuvraj and Broad will remember it for some time to come.?
It was a pivotal time for both their careers. Yuvraj would go on to help India win the 2011 World Cup and be the man of the tournament. Meanwhile kudos to Broad, he recovered from the mauling to become England's most lethal fast bowler in the last decade.
