Whatever he does that is remembered, but not cherished as much as that moment that comes to define him.When you think of Yuvraj Singh for instance, you think of his stellar career, his Man of the Tournament performances in the 2011 World Cup, and his comeback from cancer to script a glorious career once again.But none of these perhaps define Yuvraj as what happened on September 19, 2007 against England at the Kingsmead Oval during the inaugural edition of the ICC World T20.On that day, Yuvraj did the unforgettable – something which will never be forgotten in cricketing folklore. T20 World Cup 2007 | Yuvraj Singh's 6 Sixes In An Over | EA Sports Cricket 07 Exactly 12 years ago on September 19, 2007, Yuvraj Singh became the first cricketer to hit six sixes … The former Pakistan captain achieved this feat in a T10 charity match … Apparently, some cuss words were used by the English all-rounder to unsettle him but the move backfired.Taking on Broad in what was the 19th over of the game, Yuvi hit the first six over the deep mid-wicket boundary before smashing the second and the third over backward square leg and wide long-off respectively. The rest, as they say, is history.Off the first ball of that over of Broad, as Llyod said on air, Yuvraj just smoked the ball into the clouds and sent it into orbit over mid-wicket.

With Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Yuvraj at the crease, India were looking at a strong finish.Andrew Flintoff was bowling the 18th over and Dhoni was quick to give the strike back to his partner because he was timing the ball well.

He had finished on 58 off 14 balls, with seven maximums. On that day in Kingsmead, Yuvraj Singh hit Stuart Broad for six sixes off the 19th over. I said, ‘ **** you’. He hit two boundaries off Freddie and the English all-rounder didn't enjoy that. He opened up his stance, raised his backlift and brought his magical bottom-hand into play. Ravi Shastri was the first Indian and second overall to do so.

The camera panned to Flintoff and he was seen shaking his head but that was not it. 36 runs in an over and 50 off 12 balls for Yuvraj Singh at a staggering strike-rate of 416.7. Even the umpire Simon Taufel couldn’t hide a smile at what he was seeing.In the very next over, Yuvraj hit Flintoff for a six and then was out caught at long-on trying to repeat it off the next ball.But the damage had been done.

Broad had no idea about what to do and he changed the angle to come round the wicket, only to bowl a waist height full-toss and Yuvi obliged by depositing it over the point boundary. Broad charged in for the last ball, almost like he has given up, balling in the same area and bang! "I'm not even a bowler and Stuart Broad is obviously one of their main bowlers and I feel sorry for him because I had a horrible day. 50 off 12 balls was also a record brought up by Yuvraj! He did something that youngsters would dream of for ages and parents would tell her children about. India finished with 218/4 from their 20 overs and went onto win the game by 18 runs in the Super-8 game.Yuvi's 12-ball effort is still the fastest T20I fifty ever.
