Former India batsman Yuvraj Singh shared a throwback video of himself on social media where he can be seen hitting a six over covers in a match during the 2017 edition of the Indian Premier League. Yuvraj, who was a part of SunRisers Hyderabad back in 2017, smashed Kolkata Knight Riders pacer Chris Woakes for a six in what is considered to be one of the toughest shots in cricket. Yuvraj Singh took to his Instagram account to share the post and captioned it saying, "This has to be one of my favourite shots in my career I have played! A very difficult shot to hit for a six over covers to a fast bowler".

One of the most memorable knocks that Yuvraj played was in the 2007 T20 World Cup against England. During the match, Yuvraj Singh went on to smash six sixes in an over against Stuart Broad and became the first batsman to achieve the feat in T20I cricket. Yuvraj scored 58 off 16 balls which proved to be a match-winning performance.
