Six sixes are thirty six and it's Yuvraj's hour

Befitting his name, Yuvraj Singh was truly a prince on a mission to conquer. The India-England contest at the ICC Twenty20 Championship saw Yuvraj being coronated amid his flurry of six "sixers" as India's new pinch-hitting prince.

The coronation was preceded by some corrosive sledging England all-rounder (or we call him England's struggling all-rounder) Andrew Flintoff, which egged the prince of Punjab to a superlative display with the willow.

Poor Stuart Board, who once got away after sledging Sourav Ganguly, was Yuvraj target practice. All the deliveries hurled by Board were fittingly dispatched by the Indian vice-captain into the dark skies and over the ropes.

The six sixes will no longer leave Yuvraj to live under the shadow of Sourav Ganguly, whose seniority has helped keep the Punjab batsman on the substitute bench. The scintillating would help Yuvraj keep his place in the test team as regular member.

The southpaw's proud body language and aggressive demeanour had had an impact on the opposition -- they tend to respect him (only Flintoff made a fool of himself). The Australians know it and the South Africans, Pakistanis and Sri Lankans agree on it -- never hurt Yuvraj's ego. A bruised Yuvraj is a beast of a batsman. He is transformed into a batting colossus the moment he is challenged.

Let's always have a Yuvraj in this state of affairs -- that's advantage India!
