Getting hit for 6 sixes in an over is probably the lowest point of Stuart Broad's career but the English pacer feels that those hits steeled him.

After he announced his retirement, Broad recalled when Yuvraj Singh hit him for 6 sixes in an over during India vs England 2007 World T20 game and said that he wish it never happened.

'I think what really helped me was it was a dead rubber, so it didn't feel like I'd knocked us out of the World Cup or something. But I think it steeled me up to make me the competitor I am to this day and has driven me forward a huge amount,' added Broad.

Interestingly, Yuvi also sent retirement wishes to Broad and congratulated him on 'an incredible Test career.'

'One of the finest and most feared red ball bowlers and a real legend!,' Yuvi tweeted.
