New Delhi, April 26: No one can forget how Yuvraj Singh hammered England pacer Stuart Broad with six consecutive sixes in ICC World Twenty20 2007.

Do you know what made Yuvi hit those shots consecutively? Just before Broad came for bowling, Yuvi was reportedly being provoked by Andrew Flintoff.

According to a Zeenews report, "In an interview with former Bollywood actress Simi Garewal for Star World, Yuvi had revealed the exact words which were exchanged between the two cricketers. The southpaw refused to speak the derogatory words which were used by both of them."

Recalling the incident, Yuvi was quoted as saying that Flintoff told him, "Those were ____ ridiculous shots, because I had hit him for two boundaries in that over. I said _____ you. Then he said, excuse me. I said you heard what I said. And he said I will cut your throat off. I said you see this bat in my hand. You know where I gonna hit you with this bat?"

"It got me really worked up. I was really angry and I just wanted to hit every ball out of the ground, just give it back. Sometimes, it's good for you. Sometimes, it backfires. But on that day I think it backfired them, " Yuvraj further added.

And that is how the heated exchange of words helped Yuvraj to create history in the world of T20 cricket.
