Yuvraj Singh an all-rounder for India, stunned all cricket fans during the World Cup match by hitting Broad for six sixes in one over. Despite the fact that it was an incredible occasion for the player from Punjab, the English cricketer has now forgotten about it.
Over the course of his illustrious cricket career so far, veteran England pacer Stuart Broad has received various honors. He has also held other undesired records, one of which occurred during England’s 2007 encounter against India in the ICC T20 World Cup.
Following the current Ashes series against Australia, Broad is expected to end his career in Test cricket. Yuvraj Singh has written a poignant message for his most cherished adversary. The 41-year-old praised the English paceman on Twitter and shared a number of pictures with him while he was on the field.
“Congratulations @StuartBroad8! A great legend, one of the best and most feared red ball bowlers, congrats on an amazing Test career! Your journey and perseverance have been really motivating. Broady wishes you luck on your upcoming leg. The caption was written by Yuvraj.

Stuart Broad remembered the event from the 2007 T20 World Cup after shocking the world on July 29 by announcing his retirement during day 2 of the ongoing final Ashes Test. Although the day had been challenging for him, the 37-year-old admitted that it had also taught him how to get ready for competition at the highest level.
In Test cricket, Broad has taken the fifth-most wickets.
Stuart Broad, who made his Test debut against Sri Lanka in December 2007, amassed a staggering total of more than 600 wickets in 167 games at an exceptional economy rate of 2.97. Despite dominating in the longest format of the game, the veteran has not had a particularly successful career using white balls, taking only 178 and 65 wickets respectively in ODI and T20I cricket.
Broad is now the fifth-highest wicket-taker in Test cricket, having claimed 602 victims. The 37-year-old is also only second to his partner James Anderson in red-ball cricket history in terms of speed bowlers with 600 or more wickets.
