Once Virender Sehwag was asked about Shoaib Akhtar flowery words on Sachin and Indian cricketers, he sarcastically lamented that he praise Indian cricketers for work and money.

Just to confirm, if any Indian fan like me is given the chance to question Akhtar. I would ask “Do you praise Indian cricketers for money”?

On September 19, 2007, Stuart Broad registered his name in the history of T20 cricket annals, but for wrong reasons. On this day, he was clobbered for 6 sixes by Yuvraj Singh in the inaugural T20 World Cup.

Between the over, the clip showed that he was constantly mocked and provoked by Andrew Flintoff to go for a hit, but the plan totally backfired. Stuart Broad became the victim, although he never looked back and became a better bowler in future.

Still the ghost of 6 sixes haunts him, if given the opportunity; every cricket fan will still ask “Who provoked Yuvraj Singh for hitting 6 sixes against you”.
