T20 World Cup: Most iconic performances in tournament history

Between India winning both the inaugural ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2007 and the most recent offering two years ago, there have been many iconic performances that have left their mark on T20’s biggest stage.

With new heroes ready to be cast when the 10^th edition commences on February 7, take a look back at some of the standout individual ICC Men’s T20 World Cup performances from years gone by.

2007 – Yuvraj’s six sixes

At the first-ever ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in South Africa, Yuvraj Singh etched his name into cricketing history by smashing six sixes off just one Stuart Broad over.

The left-handed all-rounder became just the fourth player - after Garry Sobers, Ravi Shastri and Herschelle Gibbs - to complete the feat, and the first to do so in T20 cricket.

Yuvraj’s exploits not only ensured an imposing India total but also took the then 25-year-old to a 12-ball half-century and a record fastest 50 in T20Is, one which would hold firm until 2023.

India went on to win the match before being crowned champions thanks to a five-run win over Pakistan in the final.
