Six sixes in an over is any batsman's ultimate dream and at Durban in the Super Eights game against England, Yuvraj Singh joined the ranks of Garry Sobers, Ravi Shastri and Herschelle Gibbs as batsmen who have achieved the rare feat.
The left-hander had hit 14 from six balls when Stuart Broad began the 19th over.
The first six was the biggest of the lot disappearing into the night sky beyond wide on.
The second flew over fine leg, the third over long off and the fourth a full toss over backward point.
The fifth was struck on one knee and landed just over the rope at square leg.
Yuvraj ended the over almost where he began with the sixth going over mid wicket.
Yuvraj's unbelievable 12-ball fifty was comfortably the fastest in international cricket.
He admitted that he was charged up because of something Andrew Flintoff had said before the over began.
Yuvraj ended with 58 off 16 balls with three fours and seven sixes and India scored 218 for four which was too much for England who finished with 200 for six.
