Andrew Flintoff’s revenge on Broad
Actually, something happened that in this match it was the 18th over of India’s innings, Andrew Flintoff was bowling and he had an argument with Yuvraj. Because he made some lewd gestures to Yuvi. But, Broad had to bear the brunt of his gestures. He had taken the sari ball of his over out of the ground by blowing it in the air. At the same time, captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, standing at the other end of the crease, just kept looking at Yuvi.
storm batsman of india
Yuvraj Singh’s international career was full of ups and downs, but he remained Team India’s troubleshooter for more than a decade in his 19-year cricket career. He used to be a very stormy batsman of Team India. He has done many such matches in India’s possession, which was very difficult to win. He has done many feats not only with the bat but also with the ball. He was one of the few cricketers in the country who got a chance to play in all the three international formats (Test, ODI and T20).
