Remembering 5 special performances from Yuvraj Singh on his birthday

#3 ICC T20 World Cup (2007)

Six sixes in an over!

By 2006 Yuvraj Singh had developed into a vital part of the Indian team. Yuvraj and MS Dhoni made the middle-order formidable. Both of them chased down huge targets with utmost ease. However, it was the 2007 ICC T20 World Cup that was the watershed moment in Yuvraj's career.

In a must-win game against England in the knockout stages, Yuvraj smashed Stuart Broad for six consecutive sixes in an over on his way to the fastest T20I fifty. His sixes coupled with Ravi Shashtri's epic commentary still give goosebumps to every India cricket fan. Again in the semi-final he scored a whirlwind 70 off just 30 balls against a strong Australian attack. His innings propelled India to a massive score of 188, which proved to be too much for the Aussies to chase down.

His stunning performances cemented his place in the record books as India won the inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup.
