The night of T20 World Cup 2007 is still remembered in the heart of every Indian fan. That night, Yuvraj Singh immortalized his name in cricket history by hitting 6 sixes in 6 balls against England. The victim of this memorable over was England’s young fast bowler Stuart Broad, whose career was just beginning at that time. That match is over, but the memory of that over is still one of the most talked about incidents of cricket. Now years later, Stuart Broad’s father Chris Broad has made a revelation that has surprised the fans. He told that his son, after seeing a gift related to Yuvraj Singh, threw it in the dustbin in anger.
Father gave Yuvraj’s jersey, son threw it in the dustbin
Former England cricketer and 1986-87 Ashes hero Chris Broad recently told in an interview that he once gave Yuvraj Singh’s autographed jersey as a Christmas gift to his son Stuart. Chris Broad told, “My son’s sense of humor was a bit weak at that time. I thought of surprising him by giving him Yuvraj’s signed jersey, but as soon as he opened the box, he threw the jersey straight in the dustbin without saying anything.”
England became a legend even after 6 sixes
However, even after that over, Stuart Broad proved himself and became one of the great bowlers in the history of English cricket. Broad has played 167 Tests, 121 ODIs and 56 T20 matches in his international career. He took 604 wickets in Tests, which is the second highest figure for England. At the same time, he took 178 wickets in ODI and 65 wickets in T20. He retired in 2023 after an illustrious career and is now counted among the great players of English cricket.
