New Delhi, July 29: 13 years after nearly bringing about a premature end to his career with six sixes in an over, former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh on Wednesday (July 29) hailed England seamer Stuart Broad.

On Tuesday, Broad became only the seventh bowler and fourth speedster to take 500 wickets in Test cricket. The 34-year-old Broad reached the milestone when he dismissed West Indies' Kraigg Brathwaite on the fifth day of the deciding third Test in Manchester. Yuvraj took to Twitter to ask his fans to applaud the Englishman's hard work and achievement.

"I'm sure every time I write something about @StuartBroad8, people relate to him getting hit for 6 sixes! Today I request all my fans to applaud what he has achieved! 500 test wickets is no joke - it takes hard work, dedication & determination. Broady you're a legend! Hats off," Yuvraj tweeted.
