Yuvraj Singh, the former India all-rounder, came up with a different way of welcoming Leo Carter to the “six sixes club” on Wednesday. Yuvraj posted a picture on his Instagram story where he used a ‘Tom and Jerry’ cartoon while praising the young New Zealand batsman. On Sunday, Leo Carter had smashed Anton Devcich for six sixes in an over. The all-rounder was impressed with the young left-handed batsman and asked him to sign his own jersey and give it to the bowler as a mark of respect.

“Welcome Leo Carter to the six sixes club! That was some epic hitting, now please sign your jersey and give it to Devcich as a mark or respect,” Yuvraj Singh wrote in his Instagram story.

During a New Zealand Super Smash T20 league game between Canterbury Kings and Northern Knights, Carter smashed spinner Anton Devcich for six sixes on the leg side. Yuvraj Singh had earlier achieved the milestone by himself during the inaugural season of the Twenty20 World Cup way back in 2007.
