Rewind to 2007. We all remember the epic six sixes hit by Yuvraj Singh off Stuart Broad in the World T20. But there was a precursor to that event.

Just before that over, Yuvraj and Andrew Flintoff had a confrontation on the field, and now the southpaw has come out with what was said. In a recent interview he revealed the details.

The conversation went like this -

Flintoff: Those were f***ing ridiculous shots

Yuvraj: F*** you

Flintoff: Excuse me?

Yuvraj: You heard what I said

Flintoff: I will cut your throat off

Yuvraj: You see this bat in my hand. You know where I am gonna hit you with this bat?

The 34-year-old said that it fired him and if Flintoff thought it would work to England's favour, he was sadly mistaken.

The man to suffer was Stuart Broad as his next over was carted for 36 runs. Six massive hits by Yuvraj demolished the morale of the Englishmen.

He eventually made 58 off 16 balls as India amassed 218/4. They won the game by 18 runs.

So we know why we got to see history on that special day!

The moral of the story for Flintoff? Don't play with fire or you will get burned.
