According to a Sportstar report, Brian Lara had smashed 28 runs in one over against South African Robin Peterson in 2003.
Bumrah’s achievement reminded netizens of Indian former skipper Yuvraj Singh’s back-to-back sixes against Broad in the 2007 T20 World Cup. Many of them were quick enough to notice the similarity and came up with oh-so-hilarious memes on Twitter.
