Former IPL chairman Lalit Modi has made a striking revelation about India’s historic 2007 T20 World Cup campaign. Speaking on the Beyond23 Podcast with Michael Clarke, Modi claimed he had promised a Porsche to any Indian player who could hit six sixes in an over or take six wickets in one.
Yuvraj Singh Makes History
Yuvraj Singh fulfilled that challenge in unforgettable fashion. During the clash against England, he smashed Stuart Broad for six consecutive sixes, a feat that remains iconic in world cricket. Yuvraj not only completed the challenge but also recorded the fastest T20I fifty at the time, reaching the milestone in just 12 balls.
“Where’s My Porsche?”
Modi recalled Yuvraj’s immediate reaction after his explosive innings.
“Yuvraj looks at me on the boundary, raises his bat and runs towards me saying, ‘I want my Porsche.’ I said, ‘Give me the bat,’” Modi revealed.
A Key Role In India’s Triumph
Yuvraj’s blitz proved crucial in India’s eventual triumph at the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007. His six sixes remain one of the most iconic moments in cricket history — and one that also cost Lalit Modi a Porsche.
