It was the match in the Super Eight stage of the ICC World T20 2007, where the Indian left-handed batsman Yuvraj Singh smashed six sixes in an over of the England right-arm pacer Stuart Broad. After hitting the last six of that incredible over, Yuvraj also completed the fastest T20I fifty in just 12 balls.

When Yuvraj hit that six sixes in an over, the second batsman to six sixes in an over of the international cricket history, captain Dhoni was enjoying it from the other side by scoring seven off six balls. Yuvraj was finally dismissed on 58 runs off just 16 balls while Dhoni remained not out on ten runs off eight balls.
