The bowlers can either bounce the ball or throw it like a baseball pitch. They can do whatever they want. You don't know what they're going to do. And it might have spin, you know, like a baseball, you can throw a curveball. A curveball curves a little more than a fastball does, but can't move that much. When you spin the ball and then it hits the ground, it can move a lot.

So you really don't know what's coming.

So Lalit tells these kids, remember they're kids from India, not from wealthy families here, if any of you can hit six sixes in an over, this is going to be such a dramatic event. I know this is going to capture the public's imagination here. I will personally give you a Porsche 911. I swear to God this is true. Wow, the acquired universe crossover. The crossovers are amazing.

And I believe, in fact, that when they were talking about this in the locker room, he might have first offered a Rolex, and then the players were like, no, that's not enough for doing, like, I need a Porsche 911. Oh, that's amazing. I think that might be the story. Either way, to drive a Porsche 911 in India, period, is like, that's a big statement.

For a young kid, this is the pinnacle of anything they could ever dream of. Yep. So they're motivated. So they're playing England in the group round. And one of the young players, Yuvraj Singh, is up at bat. He hits one six. He hits two sixes. Three sixes. Four sixes. By God, he hits six sixes in and over. Crowd's going insane. Against England in South Africa. The crowd's going insane.

I believe something like less than 20 people have ever done this in history, even to this day. This is one of the rarest feats, certainly in cricket, if not all of sports. And he did it. And so he comes running over to Lalit. Lalit's there in the stands, jingling his hand back and forth, feeling like, I want the keys, my Porsche, my Porsche. Amazing. And he gets his Porsche.

And Lalit would tell you that he paid for it out of his own money. I'm sure. Lalit's quote on this is, that lit up the Indian television screen. It turned the entire country upside down. Everybody started to tune in. So they win that match against England. Next thing you know, they find themselves in the final against Pakistan.

Now, the Indian national team, the first team at this point in time, despite India being the biggest market for cricket in the world, was not that good. I believe they had not won an ODI, a one-day international world cup in quite a while. Here now, these young guys, the T20 team is in the finals against Pakistan. They win on the last over. An incredibly exciting, dramatic finish.

The television audience back home in India for this was 400 million people.
