Now, Yuvraj Singh reveals that while his achievement was grand, he was the recipient of several questions and doubts. While speaking to Sports Tak, he reveals that Adam Gilchrist was one of the individuals who questioned his bat. The question about whether the fibre behind the bat was legal or not. Furthermore, the match referee checked his bat as well to make sure there was no tampering.
“The Australian coach at that came to me and had asked if there was a fiber behind my behind and asked if it was legal. Has the match referee checked it?“
It seems as though some were desperate to put him through a tampering scandal. The 36 runs from one over was the answer that Andrew Flintoff did not expect. In fact, on the video below it is clear from Flintoff’s expression that he quickly realises that getting Yuvraj Singh fired up is going to cost the England Cricket team.
