DURBAN, Sept 20: Yuvraj Singh on Thursday dismissed comparisons with West Indian legend Gary Sobers after his six sixes in an over kept India alive in the Twenty20 World Championship.

“A lot of people tell me I bat like him (Sobers), but I’m not even halfway there,” the left-hander said. “But it’s a great feeling when people tell you that.”

Yuvraj smashed English fast bowler Stuart Broad for 36 runs in an over at the Kingsmead here on Wednesday night as India romped home by 18 runs in a match they had to win to remain in the semi-final race.

India must now beat South Africa in the last Super Eights match here on Thursday night to join the hosts and New Zealand with two wins each in Group E, the three-way tie to be broken by net run-rates.—AFP
