Ex-Australian all-rounder shares hilarious incident with Yuvraj during 2011 World Cup: 'Everyone went silent…'
Former seam-bowling all-rounder John Hastings, who was part of Australia's squad for the 2011 ICC World Cup in India, revealed how quickly things went downhill after he was invited to a party in Yuvraj Singh's room at a hotel. John Hastings revealed how he had been invited to a party in Yuvraj Singh's room at a hotel in the 2011 ICC World Cup. Reuters Former Australian all-rounder John Hastings recently opened up on a funny incident during the 2011 ICC World Cup involving Indian star Yuvraj Singh, revealing how an entire party had gone quiet because of his clumsiness. The medium-pacer, who had represented Australia in 39 internationals including 29 one-dayers, said that he was trying to change the music that was playing on a laptop on Yuvraj's room, and tried to make himself comfortable by placing himself on a ledge, only for it to come crashing down, much to his horror. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD '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,' Hastings told 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 didn't had to pay for any damage' Hastings added that he took it upon himself to try and rectify the situation and reached out to the reception. Fortunately for him, he didn't have to pay a penny for the damages and the incident was quickly forgotten. '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,' Hastings continued. '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. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD '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,' he concluded. Though he was part of the squad, Hastings did not feature in any of the seven matches that Australia had played in that World Cup, including the quarter-final against India in Ahmedabad that the Men in Blue ended up winning by five wickets. Yuvraj, who had struck an unbeaten 57 in that quarter-final, would go on to be adjudged the Player of the Tournament for scoring 362 runs and collecting 15 wickets, playing a key role in India winning cricket's showpiece event for only the second time.
