The International Cricket Council (ICC) led the way as wishes poured in for former India batsman Yuvraj Singh on his 38th birthday. The stylish left-hander was known for turning up in big matches and has given countless moments of magic on the pitch and probably none more memorable than his brutal assault on Stuart Broad in India's 2007 World T20 clash against England. The ICC on Thursday tweeted a video of Yuvraj's six sixes off that over with a simple caption reading "Happy Birthday".
For those in need of a reminder, India were batting first in the match and Yuvraj Singh came to the crease in the 17th over. In the penultimate over of the match, fired up after a confrontation with Andrew Flintoff, Yuvraj Singh tore into Stuart Broad. He sprayed the pacer all over the pitch, twice getting on his knees to slog the ball on the leg-side.
