What did John Hastings do in Yuvraj Singh's room during 2011 World Cup which turned party ‘dead quiet' with Bollywood celebrities everywhere
Former Australian cricketer John Hastings recalled a cheeky anecdote from the 2011 World Cup, which India went on to win. Hastings recalled when he attended a party hosted by Yuvraj Singh and how he managed to break the table, and there was pin-drop silence. However, Hastings revealed how he went to the reception and sorted out the issue. 'It was one of those ones where we'd obviously had a few and I think you know we'd obviously been invited up to Yuvi's (Yuvraj Singh) room and walked in and there was a suite. It was massive. It was as big as my house over here. And I remember looking around, I just jeez there's so many people in here,' said Hastings speaking on LiSTNR sport. 'What's going on with this music? So, I was fiddling around with the laptop trying to get some of my playlist on and I sat on the edge of this… There was a ledge that had a phone on there. There was a laptop, I sat on it and boom off it came down on the floor and I just remember everyone just stopped and looked and went silent, dead quiet, pin could drop,' he added. 'I just went, 'What am I going to do here? I'm a young kid.' It's Yuvraj Singh's room. There are so many people here. There's probably Bollywood celebrities everywhere, and I just went, 'Right, stay calm,' and I went to the phone, which was already out off the wall, and I'd seen the cord be ripped out of the wall. So, I just thought, I'll just make sure that I've made this right. And there was no one on the end of the line. So, I picked up the phone. I said, 'Reception,' yep. John Hastings, I just want to make sure that there's a bit of damage in Mr. Singh's room. I'll make sure I fix it up. I'm in the room such and such. And everyone was like, 'Well done, mate. That's brilliant.' And everyone just kicked on, played on,' Hastings recalled. 'I actually went down to reception to make sure that I could rectify the situation, but there was never another word. So, happy days. I didn't had to pay for any damage and we had a really good night,' he concluded on the matter.
