The legend of Lalit Modi, Yuvraj Singh, and the Porsche 911 is a well-known tale in modern Indian cricket. During the inaugural 2007 World T20, Modi promised a car to any Indian batter who could hit six sixes in a single over. Yuvraj Singh achieved this feat against Stuart Broad in Durban, earning him the promised Porsche.
In a recent podcast with Michael Vaughan, Yuvraj revealed that he had even greater ambitions than the Porsche. He negotiated with Modi for an upgrade to a Ferrari if he won the next game for India. Eventually, they settled on a compromise, and Yuvraj chose a BMW M5 as his reward.
Yuvraj’s incredible display of hitting six sixes in an over against Broad remains a career highlight. His ability to rise to the occasion, as displayed in this event and in other crucial moments in his career, exemplifies his greatness in the sport.
This story showcases the glitzy and glamorous side of T20 cricket, a vision brought to life by Lalit Modi and the IPL. Yuvraj’s achievement in fulfilling Modi’s bet further cements his legacy in Indian cricket history.
