English commentator David Lloyd made a very interesting revelation about Yuvraj Singh's six sixes in an over against Stuart Broad in T20 World Cup 2007.

Fans believe Yuvraj's sixes in that match feel complete with Ravi Shastri's voice in the background. It was Shastri in the commentator box who gave the moment his voice and he did an excellent job. 

Lloyd, in a Sky Sports Cricket Podcast, shared that Ravi was able to commentate at that particular moment because of a sudden change in commentary roster.

"We did a thing with Ravi Shastri earlier on, and he said – you may not remember this, Bumble – but you actually … not changed the comm rota, but you said, ‘Ravi, you should be on now towards the end of this innings.' Is that right?", host Rob Key asked Llyod during Sky Sports Cricket Podcast.

"That's right. You know sometimes, these producers haven't a clue when they're doing those comm rotas! So I just switched it slightly," Llyod said.

"(He was) absolutely brilliant, Ravi was all over it. It was terrific. Broady was going around the park, and that batting … Yuvraj was just flicking it. Just a little flick, and off it went. Brilliant."

Shastri also gave a desi touch to the moment after the third six and it is still stuck in every Indian fan's head.
