After a poor show in Indian Premier League 2018, Kings XI Punjab franchise has left out Yuvraj Singh for the upcoming edition of IPL. His poor form in the domestic season has left none of the franchises interested in picking him. However, Mumbai Indians showed faith on the ICC World Cup 2011 hero of Indian National Cricket Team.

He went unsold in the first round but later, Mumbai Indians recalled his name and bought at a base price of INR 1 Crore. The experts termed that it was the greatest steal in the history of IPL auctions, as everyone aware of Yuvraj’s calibre.

On the work front, Yuvraj Singh’s dream to play ICC World Cup 2019 might have come to an end. He wasn’t even picked in India A squad and also hardly found success in the domestic circuit. However, a good IPL season might aid him.
