The man behind India’s two World Cup triumphs, Yuvraj Singh is second on this happening list. Four years before taking India to the 2011 World cup glory, the southpaw dismantled bowling line-ups in the inaugural World T20 in South Africa.

He smashed sixes for fun and made the best of bowlers look ineffective. While Yuvraj tormented many prominent bowlers in that tournament, his mayhem against Stuart Broad will be remembered till eternity.

Following an altercation with the then England captain Andrew Flintoff, the southpaw smashed Stuart Broad for six consecutive sixes in Durban. In the same innings, he brought up a 12-ball fifty, the fastest for any player in international cricket to date.

Yuvraj also scored a 30-ball 70 against Australia in the semi-final. India eventually won the tournament, and the southpaw earned praises from all over the world.

He went onto feature in all the following T20 World Cups and played many staggering knocks. However, Yuvraj is now retired and hence, won’t feature in this year’s competition.
