During the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) vs Mumbai Indians (MI) match at the M Chinnaswamy in Bengaluru, Yuvraj Singh showed a touch of his class when he smashed spinner Yuzvendra Chahal for three back to back sixes in one over. Chahal, however, on the fourth ball dismissed Yuvraj to complete his revenge. After the match, Chahal was asked how he felt when Yuvi slammed him for a hat-trick of sixes.

The spinner revealed that he felt like England fast-bowler Stuart Broad. “After Yuvraj hit me for three sixes, I felt like Stuart Broad. He is a legendary batsman and I knew I had to back myself. It was a smaller ground and to be hit for boundaries is fine. I knew I had to come up with my best deliveries and so I was bowling the wide googlies," Chahal told reporters after the match.
For the uninitiated, Yuvraj smashed Broad for six sixes in one over during the ICC World T20 2007 in South Africa. And during the IPL match, Yuvraj almost emulated his effort against Chahal. With Chahal ‘comparing’ himself to Broad, the England pacer has reacted to the spinner’s comments. Broad commented on one of the IPL posts on the social media and wrote, “hope he feels like me in 10 years time with 437 Test wickets.” Watch MS Dhoni Calling Suresh Raina 'H***mi Launda' During Kedar Jadhav’s Birthday Celebrations in This Viral Video.
