Chris Broad Says Stuart Tossed Yuvraj-Signed Shirt After 2007 'Six Sixes' Over

The former ICC match referee described asking Yuvraj Singh to sign an India jersey as a playful memento of the moment.

Overview

  • In a new interview with The Telegraph on Oct. 28, Chris Broad said he secured Yuvraj Singh’s autograph after the 2007 T20 World Cup match and later wrapped the shirt as a Christmas gift for his son.
  • He recalled that Stuart Broad opened the present, saw the shirt, and threw it in the bin, which he described as a brief failure of humor.
  • Yuvraj has previously recounted that Chris asked for the autograph by saying he had almost finished his son’s career, and he said he wrote a supportive note on the jersey.
  • The gift referenced Yuvraj’s six sixes off Stuart in one over, an outburst widely linked in reports to a heated exchange with Andrew Flintoff.
  • Stuart Broad went on to rebuild his career, winning the 2010 T20 World Cup and retiring in 2023 with more than 600 Test wickets across 167 matches.
