Yuvraj Singh’s 12-ball fifty against England, in the 2007 World T20 on Sep 19,2007 @ Kingsmead,Durban,South Africa
The first delivery of Broad's final over was swung over midwicket for a
massive six and the ball landed outside the stadium. The second ball was
flicked behind square for six more. On the third ball, Yuvraj backed
away and carved the ball over the covers. By now, the fans were going
berserk. An ashen-faced Broad changed his angle to around the stumps,
but erred in length. A full toss outside the off stump was slashed over
backward point. Four balls, four sixes. The crowd now knew something
special was happening.
Back over the stumps went Broad, but Yuvraj was ready. On bent knee, he heaved the ball over midwicket for his fifth six. Ravi Shastri, one of four batsmen to have hit six sixes in an over, was commentating at the time and was in raptures.

Stuart Broad trundled in, delivered a half-volley and turned his head as Yuvraj
smashed the ball over midwicket to make it six sixes off the over.
Yuvraj's team-mates went mad in celebrating a 12-ball half-century, the
fastest in T20Is.
