Dinesh Karthik reflects on Yuvraj Singh’s iconic six sixes moment in T20 World Cup 2007

In a recent interview, Dinesh Karthik, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru batter, took a trip down memory lane to revisit one of the most iconic moments in Indian cricket history – Yuvraj Singh’s sensational six sixes in an over during the T20 World Cup 2007 clash against England. Karthik described the moment as the “standout moment in Indian cricket,” highlighting the impact it had on all those who witnessed it.

Yuvraj’s breathtaking performance at Kingsmead on September 19, 2007, left cricket fans around the world in awe. Facing Stuart Broad, Yuvraj smashed six consecutive sixes in an over, reaching his fifty in just 12 balls – a record that still stands as the fastest in T20 cricket. His remarkable feat played a crucial role in India’s victory over England in the Super Eight phase of the tournament.

Reflecting on the historic moment, Karthik shared his admiration for Yuvraj’s batting prowess, calling him a “dream boss” and praising his ability to hit sixes with ease. He also mentioned the build-up to the iconic over, including the now-famous conversation between Yuvraj and Andrew Flintoff.

Joining the conversation, Ravichandran Ashwin, in whose YouTube channel the interview took place, commended Yuvraj’s batting style, describing it as “princely.” Both Karthik and Ashwin acknowledged the challenge of bowling to Yuvraj when he was in full flow, emphasizing his dominance as a batsman.

As fans continue to cherish Yuvraj Singh’s unforgettable performance, his legacy as one of India’s greatest cricketers remains intact, with moments like the six sixes in an over etched in cricketing folklore forever.
