Why was Gibbs' six sixes not as famous as Yuvraj's six sixes?

 Yuvi’s record was popular,

1. The opponent was England.
2. The bowler was Stuart Broad.
3. The heated argument between Yuvi and Flintoff.
4. It came unexpected from the young, inexperienced INDIAN team!
5. Moreover, those were mighty sixes.
6. That was a must win game for India to stay alive in the tournament after a loss against New Zealand and a washout against Scotland :/
7. It was the very first edition of a T20 format.

So, the entire nation was eager at that night. And what followed was a ruthless innings that included 7 sixes and a 58 off 16 deliveries!

The beauty was the way Yuvi played throughout the tournament proving that he is a samrat of limited editions! Then came a clinical 70’s against the mighty Ausies at Durban in the semis :')

Now, consider the case of Herschelle Gibbs,

1. The opponent was Netherland.
2. The result was very much known.
3. People knew it's going to be a one-sided fairy tale.
