Yuvraj Singh gives two names who can break his record of fastest T20I fifty

Yuvraj had smashed a 12-ball 50 against England in the T20 World cup 2007.

Former India flamboyant batter Yuvraj Singh used to scare the opposition with his presence in the middle. When England's Andrew Flintoff warned him of cutting his throat during the T20 World Cup 2007 encounter, Yuvraj made sure someone has to pay for it. Unfortunately, Stuart Broad became scapegoat as the then youngster got smashed for six sixes in an over.

Yuvraj not only hammered Broad all over the park, he also reached him 50 in just 12 deliveries, a record in T20I cricket.

We haven't witnessed such madness in international cricket by an Indian batsman again. When asked if someone could break his fastest fifty record ever? Yuvraj came up with two names from Indian cricket.

“Two guys I thought could break the record are Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers. KL can do it he has 50 off 14 balls in the IPL but scoring a 50 in international cricket where all are quality bowlers and in IPL where you get two quality bowlers is not the same. But KL and Hardik have the potential,” Yuvraj said on Sportscreen's YouTube page.

The 38-year-old lauded Hardik Pandya's ability as an all-rounder and he can turn out to be a key player in next World Cup for India.

“Hardik Pandya has immense potential. He has got amazing talent. Someone needs to work with his head so that he can perform in crunch situations. If somebody can work on his mind, he can be a serious asset as we go to the next World Cup.”

Yuvraj blamed poor selection in last World Cup a major reason for India's defeat in the semi-final.

"The selection during the 2019 World Cup was shocking. You need people to question those decisions when players who have played 5 ODIs are playing in the middle order. Can the current selectors question these decisions when they themselves have played only 5 ODIs?" he asked.
