SA vs IND, 1st T20I. Today’s match: Live Cricket Score and Reactions from Durban
What is the most iconic innings ever played by an Indian in a T20I match?
Yuvraj Singh’s 6 sixes – surely.
Yuvi still has some skin in the game with his disciple Abhishek Sharma turning heads with his incredible knocks in the international scene. While Abhishek has had a lean run recently, can he emulate the mastery of his mentor in one of the most stunning stadiums in the world?
Here’s what he had to say.
“I’ve come here for the first time but when I saw it for the first time on TV and now I’m here so it’s a dream come true. I was inspired by Yuvraj Singh’s 6-sixes during the T20 World Cup 2007. On my Day 1 here, I was trying to figure out where all did he hit from which end. Then we all began discussing, he hit first two there and third one was over point and covered all the areas. It’s a great memory,” said Sharma in a video released by the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India).
“I was watching the game with my family at home. When we won that game my entire colony came out and we celebrated the victory. I never thought then that I will get to come here but I just wanted to play. I’m sure he (Yuvraj Singh) will watch the game too and it will be dream for me because I got inspired by watching him play here. I will try my best and make him proud,” he added.
