When it's Yuvraj Singh in action in Twenty20 cricket sixes ought to fly off his lofty willow.His 25-ball 31 cameo against Australia in Mumbai today included three sixes, which has now made him the leading six-hitter with 15 sixes in his T20I career.

Yuvraj overtakes New Zealand's Craig McMillan, who held the record previously with 14 sixes.

On Saturday, Yuvraj showed why he is feared most by fast bowlers in world cricket, especially in T20.

The south paw produced yet another sparkling knock against Australia at the CCI in Mumbai to set the Kangaroos hopping as Yuvraj smashed an unbeaten 31 off 25 deliveries to see India home.

Yuvraj, who of late has had a penchant for scoring sixes against the faster bowlers took Aussie speedster Stuart Clark for two successive sixes - both hooks, which reminded everyone of the punishment he handed over to England's Stuart Broad in the World Cup T20 in Durban last month.
