Yuvraj Singh 59 runs in 28 balls with 5 sixes against Australia: It is not possible that there is a knockout match against Australia and the ‘Sixer King’ Yuvraj Singh’s bat does not work. Once again Yuvraj Singh has proved that he is a player of big matches. Yuvraj, who brought Australia to its knees in the knockout matches of the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup, did the same feat on Friday night as he used to do years ago.
Yuvraj Singh, who is captaining the Indian Champions in the World Champions of Legends League being played in Birmingham, played a brilliant innings of 59 runs in just 28 balls with the help of five sixes in the semi-final match against Australia on Friday night. During this, four brilliant fours also came from Yuvi’s bat. Seeing this innings of Yuvraj, fans remembered his innings of 70 runs in 30 balls against Australia in the 2007 T20 World Cup.
After his powerful innings, Yuvraj Singh is trending on social media. Fans are constantly praising the Sixer King. The same thing is seen in 42-year-old Yuvraj even today, which was seen 15 years ago. On Friday, when Yuvi was thrashing the Australian bowlers, it seemed as if hitting a six is a very easy thing. But it is Yuvi’s strong wrists that make it seem so.
