Stuart Broad reveals a never-heard-before story about Yuvraj Singh's 6 sixes

While commentating on Sky Sports, Stuart Broad admitted that he had narrowly escaped conceding a no-ball during that memorable over, which could have resulted in a staggering seven sixes. "I've never watched that back, but I must admit, I got lucky to get away with a no-ball there as well. It could have been seven sixes," Stuart Broad said.

Despite England's efforts, they fell short by 18 runs in the match. India went on to win the first T20 World Cup by defeating arch-rivals Pakistan in the final.

Stuart Broad's revelation has brought back memories of that thrilling match and has given fans a new perspective on the historic moment. It's a testament to Yuvraj Singh's incredible batting skills that even seventeen years later, the cricketing world is still in awe of his achievement.
