Former India international and World Cup winner Yuvraj Singh slammed four sixes in an over for India Legends in a Road Safety World Series match at Ranchi on Saturday.
Yuvraj, whose six sixes off Stuart Broad in the inaugural ICC T20 World Cup still gives goosebumps to cricket fans to this day turned back the clock as he struck four sixes off South Africa Legends' Zander de Bruyn in the 18th over of the match.
The Road Safety World Series is a T20 tournament organised by the Maharashtra Road Safety Cell to raise awareness about the importance of road safety measures. It features six teams -- India Legends, South Africa Legends, Sri Lanka Africa Legends, West Indies Legends, England Legends, and Bangladesh Legends.
