Dimitri Mascarenhas had smashed Yuvraj for 5 consecutive sixes back in 2007.
Former India batting all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has a really bad memory with the ball. He has a record of six sixes in an over against England in a World T20 match. But before giving it back, he was taken tot he cleaners by England's Dimitri Mascarenhas.
Mascarenhas smashed him for five back-to-back sixes in the sixth match of England vs India ODI series back in 2007. It was played just two weeks before Yuvraj's six sixes against Stuart Broad.

Yuvraj talked about how tough it was to get those five consecutive sixes out of his mind. Interacting with Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford on the Sony Ten Pit Stop show, he said, “I was playing a game at the Oval and I don’t know why the captain [Dravid] gave me to bowl the last over.
“Dimitri Mascarenhas hit me for five sixes in six balls. I’m glad he didn’t hit me for six sixes and I couldn’t sleep for the next 15 days. The calls and messages from my friends after that were really disheartening. I never got so many calls when I scored a hundred.”
After 14 days, it was Yuvraj's turn to give it back to the Englishmen. He looked at Mascarenhas to send him a message after hitting six sixes in an over.
“Then I remember when I hit six sixes, I did not look at Broad or anyone, I looked at Dimitri and said, ‘This is over now, this is gone to bed’. It was very satisfying that I could do it against the same team,” he said.
