Apart from Yuvraj Singh and Stuart Broad, there is one more person who would never forget the day the former hit 6 maximums against England.
Yuvraj Singh hitting 6 sixes in an over in the T20 World Cup in 2007 ended up costing Lalit Modi a Porsche. Anyone even remotely inclined toward cricket would remember the monumental feat achieved by the left-handed Indian star at the 2007 T20 World Cup against England. Stuart Broad was at the receiving end of the onslaught put on by Yuvraj Singh. He finished by hitting the poor bowler for 6 maximums in his single over eventually winning the match and the World Cup later.

Yuvraj Cost Lalit Modi a Porsche
Lalit Modi devised the concept of IPL and was the most prominent figure in Indian cricket (apart from the players) back around 2007. Before the world cup, he went to the Indian dressing room and announced that he would gift a Porsche to anyone who would either hit 6 sixes in one over or take 6 wickets in one over. Needless to say, he wouldn’t have imagined in his wildest dreams that such a rare feat would come to pass just a few days later. So, when Yuvraj Singh hit Stuart Broad out of the park 6 times in 6 balls, it was time for Lalit to hold his end of the bargain.

My Porsche!!” That is when Lalit realised that it was time to buy Yuvraj a brand new Porsche vehicle. However, he asked for that iconic bat from Yuvraj Singh to keep it as a remembrance of the historic day in the world of cricket. Yuvraj obliged and gave his bat to him. India went on the beat Pakistan in the final match, clinching the T20 World Cup title.
